Post deaths plans?

My dream is to die in a Nordic country in a vast forest, so hopefully I'll turn into food

I tried to start a thread about this very topic, having looked for something similar and somehow missing this. My duh.

Yes, I do:

I have been looking at designs and examples for my funeral dress, which I would like to make for myself but will resort to buying if necessary. It is going to be a long, hooded, long-sleeved, medieval-type dress and I will lying be in, hopefully a cardboard box, as I am being cremated, surrounded by some flowers and holding a bunch of them at my waist. My hair, which is partially emerald, teal green and brown right now, will likely be all green by that time and I would like it pulled forward.

My daughter will know how to apply my liquid moisturizer, mascara and eyeliner. I would like my fingernails to be painted a light shell pink and my toenails to match. No shoes and just the tips of my toenails showing beyond my dress.

Also I would like there to be no memorial service as I am reclusive and it would only be a useless waste of money for my family and my one very close friend from childhood. They can have a little service at our house if they want to and actually, It's part of my plan, now I think of it. My only requirement (or wish I suppose is a better word) for the "after party" is the presence of enchiladas, good chocolate and excellent coffee.

I have researched funeral homes and crematoriums and put some information in a folder for my family so that they won't have too much to think/worry about and, importantly, won't have to spend too much money.

I actually found a cremation service that was having an urn sale, as in you get a free urn with your cremation. That cracked me up because we have always been very frugal and I would just love that; it would make my people laugh.

That's about as far as I've gotten, but as I say, it eases me, the planning. I am extremely unlikely to die by my own hand, but I know that I will die someday and when things are hard I find this exercise quieting.

I did see a thread about choosing funeral songs which is something I had not considered. I'll have to think about that because I think that's something nice that I would like to have at my little family memorial.

I find comfort in designing my own last day and funeral. It eases my pain and brings peace when I'm struggling.

My organs are probably in good shape, so I consider to inform that my organs may be donated to someone(s) who actually wants to live. If I'm found within the time they are still useable.

After that, cremation. Ashes go wherever my relatives want. I think big stones and coffins are too fancy for dead people.

I remember watching a documentary of Mongolian traditional burial; to leave the body in the open and let vultures eat it.

My dream is to fall into sleep. Without worrying what others think. Just sleeping peacefully without all the negative feelings
