Hyper casket: I feel I’ve seen this design before

What are your thoughts about this casket?

It's a waste of resources. Put me in a field and let the animals benefit from my demise. 

The idea of preserving a body in a slow state of decay in a sealed box is pretty abhorrent to me in general, so this really does not make it any worse to me.

In reply to DrBoost :

I think that's called a "sky burial" (usually done with vultures in arid high-altitude regions).

That was a parody commercial. Right? 

At $10k, at least it's expensive as well as ugly.

Seller:  "Inside you'll find out vegan tufted interior.."

It's pleather for $10k?  

Nothing about the casket itself is the important part here.

It's all about poking fun at Tesla and the Cybertruck.

Meh. I'll be dead and beyond caring.

I can't tell if it's real or not.

Here's the website.

They are *very* clearly parodying the Cybertruck, but this also looks like a real product.

Unfortunately a lot of vultures in India have died off because of medicine given to the livestock.

I have two directives for my remains. 

I wish to be spread at the haunted mansion at Walt Disney world. 

I do not want to be cremated.

In a few seconds I've come up with some ideas.

In reply to GameboyRMH :

Yeah, I couldn't remember what it was called. Makes perfect sense.

I have another directive I've sworn to help a friend with. He's got his fathers remains, who HAS been cremated. He's sworn to put him in the fountain at the Bellagio. Best theories so far were either walk by and sprinkle, or water balloon slingshot from a neighboring hotel.

The engineer in me is working on this.  I need to know if you have an aversion to farm equipment?  

In reply to dean1484 :

Efficiency is appreciated, though portability and security is a concern. 

In reply to Mndsm :

My first thought on either project is do you want to go for stealth or do you want to go for the biggest show for the unknowing public.  The later appeals to me.

In reply to Stampie :

Por que no los dos? Give em the show they didn't know they wanted, and the one they didn't know they were getting.

In reply to Mndsm :

Ahhh. So the wood chipper effect.

You guys have seen Carrie, right?

In reply to Mndsm :

Ok for the ashes how about a fake gender reveal at the fountain?  Surprise it's going to be a dead guy!  

In reply to dean1484 :

Freeze them first. Goes through the chipper much easier that way, and makes a neat snow effect. 

Somebody did that with a rental chipper a couple years ago at a local river.

So just a reverse "one piece at a time" deal...I like it. 

My wife brought up funeral expenses the other day.  She told me be wasteful on her funeral expenses "I don't need a $10k casket".  Like I didn't know that...
