Forget funeral plans and death insurance guilt-trips. The real joy? Forcing your grieving family to cosplay Indiana Jones in search of your hidden lootโ€”because the last laugh belongs to you, not HMRC.

๐Ÿงญ Burials Are Boring. Leave a Map, Not a Bill.

Youโ€™ve seen those ghoulish ads:

๐Ÿ’” โ€œDonโ€™t burden your loved ones when youโ€™re goneโ€ฆโ€

๐Ÿ’ธ โ€œJust ยฃ5 a month and weโ€™ll cover your burial!โ€

๐ŸŽป Cue sad music and a black-and-white widow shaking over a coffin

What they really mean is: โ€œPlease hand over more of your dwindling bank balance to a corporate vampire before you die.โ€

But what if, instead of coughing up to pre-pay for your own hole in the dirt, you slowly siphoned off your assets, sold your house for cash, turned your jewellery into gold coins, and buried them in secret?

Thenโ€”plot twistโ€”you left behind a riddle-laced treasure map only your family could solve. ๐Ÿ“œ๐Ÿ—บ๏ธ

Letโ€™s be honest:

  • The governmentโ€™s already helped themselves to your wages, your fuel, your home, your Netflix subscription, and even your death (hi there, Inheritance Tax).
  • The only thing you truly own is your ability to ruin the systemโ€™s day one final time by dying with an empty account and a smirk.

Burial plans are the modern-day equivalent of paying to enter a prison youโ€™re already sentenced to.

So donโ€™t.

Instead, imagine your family scrambling through fields, decoding clues, arguing over riddles like:

๐Ÿ‘‰ โ€œUnder the willow where Granddad smoked, lies a box, but itโ€™s not a joke.โ€

๐Ÿ‘‰ โ€œFind the dog that never barkedโ€”his collar is the key.โ€

๐Ÿ‘‰ โ€œOnly when the rain falls on the sundial shall the truth be seen.โ€

Theyโ€™d livestream it, obviously.

โ€œFinding Nanaโ€™s Gold: Part 6 – The Cellar of Screamsโ€ would go viral.

TikTok would weep.

YouTube would monetise.

And you? Youโ€™d be up there (or down there, depending), watching with your ghostly arms crossed like:

โ€œNow thatโ€™s how you die with style.โ€

Meanwhile, the governmentโ€™s left chasing dust. No taxes. No forms. No โ€œprobate processing fees.โ€

Just the cold silence of an empty ledger and your final, glorious middle finger. ๐Ÿ–•โšฐ๏ธ

๐Ÿ’ฃย Challengesย ๐Ÿ’ฃ

Still thinking about that ยฃ5/month funeral policy? Snap out of it. Youโ€™re not a burden. Youโ€™re the legend who staged a posthumous escape from the tax system. ๐Ÿ’ผ๐Ÿ”ฅ
