My body is pretty beat up and should probably be treated as toxic, hazardous, or medical waste (or all three).

I don't want to be buried, burned, or donated. I'd prefer something like dipping into molten steel (or lava) like in Terminator 2, for everyone's safety.

If fungi can mitigate, neutralize all the bad stuff in my body, I'd be okay with that.

(The right kind of) fungi is incredibly good at neutralizing all sorts of bad stuff. There's a great deal of untapped potential in this space.

I recommend reading this article in it's entirety:

Sounds like being jettisoned into space orbit after death is right for you!
