I had this epiphany as a thirty-something, that I was going to die someday, says Seattle-based architect Katrina Spade. As she watched her children, (then 2 and 5 years old) grow up day to day, she thought about a time when they would be 40 years old. And that she would be 70. And that she would eventually die.
She began to look into the options we have for our corpses when we die, and the spaces and rituals associated with them: hardwood caskets, concrete vaults in the ground, carbon-emitting cremation, formaldehyde embalming, claiming a piece of real estate in the Earth as your own for eternity.

Yikes!
Yikes! Now I’m going to be hearing that Looney Toons theme all day in my head.
Actually in modern Germany bodies are only buried for so long. After a period of time, I think it’s ten years or so, the body is dug up and cremated and the plot is reused. They only have so much space.
I had a premonition before you posted.
Kee-ripes! is that her?
Why do all libtards LOOK SO STUPID?
