From 8 Unconventional Ways To Be Buried, here’s one idea:
Eternal Reefs
A reef ball is a steel sphere. A person’s cremated remains are placed inside the reef ball and sealed after which the ball is placed into the ocean, to eventually become part of a living reef. This option replaces cremation urns and ash scattering with a permanent environmental living legacy.
Fireworks…I want to go out with a couple of big bangs. Croak between the sheets and blow myself apart in the sky. Kewl!
Actually, the description is incorrect. Reef Balls are not made of steel, they are made of a marine friendly pH neutralized concrete. Steel would be harmful to corals in that iron is biologically active and can stimulate the growth of algae that can harm corals.
Rather than internment (placing remains in a container) the ashes are mixed with the liquid concrete before it is cast into a Reef Ball.

I’d like to be ground up and fed to animals at an animal shelter. A bit gruesome perhaps but meat is meat as far as the cats and dogs are concerned and it would be a lot better than being pumped full of toxic chemicals and dumped into the ground.
I had a friend (male of course) who wanted to be cremated, then set in an urn on the bar at our local Legion post here, and have us invite all the girls down to get a scoop of him with these instructions: Go home mix this with your douche powder and use this next time you douche. He said he wanted “one last ride” Of course that is NOT what happened to his remains.
Jonco, dont know if youve ever heard of or visited it in KC but theres the “Living Garden” where you can spread loved ones ashes in the rose garden
^ Only cemetery I’ve ever been thrown out of. Couldn’t stop sneezing.
