An idea for a good way to die:
- Live in a cabin on an island in the middle of a lake
- Be rather old and feel ready to die
- Have a party on the lakeshore with your friends and family
- Tell them you're very old and going to die soon and say goodbye
- Get in your canoe and start paddling home
- When you're partway there, lie down and die (heart stops, voluntary if possible, taking a pill is ok too)
- A timed device sets the canoe on fire and lights secretly stored fuel in the boat
- here is enough to cremate your body while your family watches from the shore
- The canoe has a shell which won't burn so you don't sink
- Your family gets a timed message using whatever technological means are most appropriate assuring them that this wasn't an accident
- They can go get the ashes if they want
