1053572_graveyardDeath – it happens to all of us…eventually. And when it does, the usual chain of events is a funeral and/or where you are either buried or cremated, followed by a period of mourning for those you left behind.

But, according to this fascinating article from mental floss, it doesn’t have to be that way.

Might sound somewhat morbid and gross, but it turns out there are plenty things your body can do and places for your body to end up rather than six feet under or in an urn.

According to this mental floss article  ‘10 Things Your Body Can Do After You Die’, throughout history, the dead have been busy doing everything from getting married (ghost marriage) and unwinding with a few friends (mummy based panaceas) to powering up crematoriums, being a Soviet tourist attraction (Lenin), standing trial (Pope Formosus), and touring the world as a work of art (Body Worlds).

That’s just to tip of the iceberg when it comes to dead adventures. Head on over to mental floss to find out all the gory details.
