I was just randomly checking out what Funerals costs and was shocked how expensive it was! €3.500 to €5.500! I live in north Germany, and we have here some very deep Woods. So I was thinking what would happen if I just die there. Let’s say no one ever finds me. Are Animals just going to eat me, and will I just be gone in a couple of years?

EDIT: If someone knows what happens step by step I would be really curious to know :D

    What happens if I commit suicide by fire? And maybe with a fan to blow away the ashes?

    Basically what if there is no body?

      So an incineration to ashes requires something like several sustained hours at 4000⁰, you would basically have to build a pyre

        Otherwise with that fan, you’ll have the entire downwind neighbourhood disappointed there’s not actually a bbq party.

      Isn’t self immolation fairly agonising? I always assumed fire is the worst way to go.

          Your comment will be my head canon from now on, because I desperately hope that’s true. I’ve been traumatised by a few videos on WPD back in the day. :(

        I have no idea tbh, but I did get a 1 inch circular brand about a decade ago, and after the first two seconds or so, I couldn’t feel the heat anymore. Of course by that point my skin was literally boiling. Even before that, I don’t remember the pain being very bad.
