Martian burial ground?

No embalming fluid. Biodegradable caskets. Natural fiber wrappings.

Worm food.

My wife and I have reserved gravesites at just such a cemetery. Though it is not limited to Catholics, it was started by Trappist monks and follows the burial practices at their nearby monastery. Makes sense to us.

Interesting article. I think this is a good outcome.

Why would anyone oppose this? The “green” marketing aside, this is basically how humans have buried their loved ones for thousands of years. Jewish and Muslim cemeteries don’t use metal caskets or allow embalming at all. They use wooden caskets with wooden nails, or shrouds.

If people want open casket expensive metal cases that’s fine too. But don’t prevent other people from choosing differently.

Reminds me of where they found King Richard III, the last England King that died in battle. His grave ended up under a parking lot.

Bottom line, the dead don’t care. funerals and graves are for the living.

The Amish bury their dead in this manner. Man started from dust and we return to dust. Also wasn't Groucho a Dr. Quackenbush in one of the Marx brothers movies?

And if they’d a been Indians, not only could they establish a tutty fruity cemetery, they coulda built a casino, too. So as soon as their tribe gets the dividend checks, they could rush to the casino and lose it all.

news flash; people have been buried this way for thousands of years... you could be standing and/or sitting on someone’s grave at this very moment...

Why did it need to be within city limits? Buy up property
just out of town on some lovely sight, and go for it.

As I understood it, decomposing bodies will eventually leak down to the water table.

[Larry Lucido]

Even better.

[lee martell]

I have often wondered if all those acres of open, rolling land could be put to better use. Most are hesitant to even broach the topic for discussion.There is profound sentimental value attached to gravesites, but it may be time to consider other options. The Dead know they are dead, whether their remains are buried, incinerated or chemically altered.

After I’m dead just spread my body around with a wood chipper.
