Besides what right do we have to ask him "Hey you know you're going to die right? How do you want to keep contributing after you are dead?"
That's just... I'd say cruel, but its not that... exactly.
Rotbart: "How do you feel about the idea of your remains being made into relics?"
Lin: "Well, I've been giving it some thought. Obviously my skull should be gilded and go to [first orphanage I founded]."
Rotbart: "Obviously. I assume you'll want it displayed in the chapel?"
Lin: "The vestibule actually. I fear that it'll attract quite a few pilgrims, and I wouldn't want the young ones to have to deal with a constant stream of people tromping through their living areas."
Rotbart: "Fair point."
Lin: "As for the rest, I think the bones of my trigger fingers should be worked into the firing mechanism of my pistols. I've spoken to Tranth and we've worked out the best way to go about that. The rest of my hand and foot bones will be distributed among my friends and the Telepathica graduates I counseled. How do you feel about a pair of knucklebone for yourself and Syr, by the way?"
Rotbart: "I would be honored."
Lin: "It's my pleasure, I assure you. As for the rest, I think my larger bones should be sectioned into discs and, along with my smaller bones, be distributed to major temples throughout the Trust. Oh, except for my spine. That I think should be incorporated into Horatius's Crozius"
Rotbart: "Well, it looks like you've got everything sorted out then."
Different culture, different attitude. Hell, I suspect that, as Avernites, they're both even more practical about these matters than the Imperial norm.
Edit: This is only partially a joke.
