Once they go the ventilator route, the chances don't look good at all:

It may be a hard pill to swallow but statistically we spend a whole
lot of money keeping corpses alive for a few extra weeks, Some never
regain consciousness.
I just hope they honor my DNR.


You have a do not recycle? Where is a body to get Solent Green?

I want to be buried in the yard with my dogs. Whether my wife tells
anyone is up to her. So much of my life is on auto pilot, it could
take a real long time for the government to miss me.


Cremation and burial in the back yard would work well for me.



My brother wants to be cremated and have his ashes spread by someone
riding a motorcycle down the road.

I looked that up. Surprisingly, it's not illegal in MA.


I don't think it is illegal anywhere. Ashes are considered sterile.
That is why nobody cares if you dump them in the water.
