Have them truly make sure you are dead before bagging you. Probably need a doctor for a death certificate.

You've got it down packed, and that's awesome. I'm looking to be burned and mixed in with a tree.

A man continually asked his wife where is my wallet? Where are my keys? Where are my boots? .. and so on for several years.
Finally fed up one day she replied. What makes you think the uterus is a tracking device!?

In all seriousness, my wife put a airtag in my wallet.

I can't hear it, but she can LMAO She also dosen't even help me to look anymore, go figure...

That said, never actually lost anything outside of our home or property, just shows up in the garage, office, kitchen, bedroom or closet sooner or later.

I think the wife might be messing with you, moving things around to all those locations! She must have a great sense of humor.

This seems about as good a place as any to post this.
This past spring I had quadruple by-pass surgery At 79, it was a scary event, so started checking into permits and possibilities.
1. Can be buried on the farm Just needs be in a "cemetery" with fence around.
2. Do not need be cremated
3. Got plans and wood for a coffin - 2 of them, about $250
4. Bought 2 body bags $20
5. Bought a hard plastic body transport carrier - about $90. This is to haul me from the fields. Don't want the wife to see me dumped in the front end loader. The body transport can be slid along the grass, behind the RTV or one of the tractors.
6. Hired hand and 2 neighbors have been instructed if hauled from the field, to do it with some decorum. Don't want to upset the wife.
7. Body bag me and directly into coffin. No changing of clothes, no viewing of body.
8. We live in an old farm house, so things inside are a bit confined. So, place coffin on saw horses outside, next to the grave, where the ceremony will be held. Let's hope it's not cold.
9. One of the three men mentioned above to call others from a list I've prepared. Notify of ceremony next day.
10. Distant relatives have been told not to bother. See me when alive, not when I'm dead.
11. All material, including ratchet straps (to strap me to the body carrier), ropes to lower me into the grave, saw horses, etc. are in the hay loft (out of the way), just awaiting the need.
My expectation is this will be a burial, much like might have been had in the west in the late 1800's, in areas "not civilized". No preacher, no funeral home. A few good words (I hope) said by friends and neighbors, and I might write a few words to be read by one of the attendees.

Similiar list here.
We joke about me digging my own hole with the backoe and my wife just rolling me in after the coroner pronounces I am deceased. Some people find this morbid, but we talk about getting older all the time and the destination is a heavenly final place of peace and worshiping Jesus.

Man that’s a well planned and inspiring plan, albeit a bit morose-BUT I understand you feeling your mortality, too.
Great to hear your quadruple by-pass surgery was successful. Hopefully you have MANY years to go before your plan has to be used.

I've gone a little further than that. I have a list of things the executor will need to know, like bank account numbers, life insurance, deeds & title locations, and people to contact and their phone numbers. It will make it easier for the executor so they don't have to search for all the information the government will want.

And it needs to be kept updated.

I didn't see any mention of contacting the Coroner. Your wife is going to need some death certificates and that ain't happening without Coroner notification. Our Coroner would probably be lost with your requests.
