LOL! I can totally see that!

Both Beau and I will be cremated (WHEN THE TIME COMES!) and spread on our Pasture.

We can join our Best Dogs Ever, our Best Cats Ever, and the Best Horse Ever, Shy-Anne.

(Our Mule will most likely outlive us both; he’s too mean to die, LOL!)

Our bodies are Temporary Housing. Organic. Dust to Dust, Ashes to Ashes! I’ll never understand people getting so wrapped up in humans being anything other than that.

Our bodies are Temples of the Holy Ghost. In Catholic teaching it is a corporal work of mercy to bury the dead. At the Final Judgment, we get bodies back. Our Lord rose from the dead with His Body. In Catholic teaching, his Our Lord's Mother was assumed into Heaven body and soul.

Our bodies are more than mere shells for the spirit. The Church has only recently tolerated cremation, but never encouraged it (except in times of plague, when disease spread was a real risk.)

To me, that would be a comforting thought.

MY uncle, born and raised on the old family farm wanted to be buried in an ancient cemetery on the edge of the farm.

He when he died suddenly; because the cemetery was officially closed it would require a special permit for his burial.

Sadly he is NOT buried in a spot about 200 yards out his kitchen window.
