Al Gore walked by one day and two guys with shovels chased after him.
To: Lorianne
I actually agree with this guy. I have no real need for my body to be preserved for an eternity even if it was possible. As the song says "Earth and worm they have a claim".

LMAO! There was a thread earlier today about "green burial disasters"
That said, i told my kids I want no chemicals used when I take a dirt nap.
Burn me up, pack me into a fireworks shell and let my dust settle where it may.

Actually, I have no problem with this... I actually like the idea, and it cuts the costs down. The Lord I imagine has no problem with me down there naturally... I want to face the east, not creamated, and the Lord will take care of the rest... The big expensive cement vaults mean nothing to Jesus.. anyway... just the funeral homes...

I'm no tree hugger, but I really like this idea.
A casket is just a method of delaying the inevitable. I'd rather let my carcass get right back into the overall cycle.
Besides, the idea of being eaten by insects after I'm dead isn't so bad to me.

Taking up lawn space for eternity while dead is not environmentally friendly. Better to be created and scattered. Or eaten by some animal.

Or 'buried at sea'. Lots of hungry things there.

Worse ... imbalming! Esquire did an article about this about 20 years ago. Scary beyond belief. Who the heck would want that done to them!

It's fine with me.
Why should I want my bones preserved for decades in a hole in the ground?

I'm a gardner, I love the idea of enriching the earth. The ancients used to place a walnut or an acorn in the mouth of their dead so when they were buried, a tree would grow.

And only one person is allowed in each 15-foot-by-15-foot plot. You could fit about six traditional graves in an area that size. Talk about the eco-terrorists being wasteful!
