A year or two ago, I'd decided that I don't care what's done with my body after I die. I was going to leave it up to family and/or loved ones, as the closure, the letting-go, would be for them. But, I've decided to donate my organs for transplant and/or science. Whatever's left, I would like this. (Not graphic, don't worry)
That is, unless it would cause my loved ones undue grief, though I don't see how.
Whatever is decided, I don't want standard cremation, simply due to the environmental impact.

I did nothing but read today at work, and finished two books.
Yeehaw.

If you want to be cremated, there is also this: "One way is a "water reduction machine"--which is more like a tissue digestion machine. It stirs the body with water and lye and reduces it to a pile of decollagenated bones (that easily crumble)." It's more economical and more environmentally safe. I only say this to give people options. I didn't even think of the pollution cremation by fire creates. I should have, but I didn't. Air pollution, soil and water pollution (from mercury in fillings no less). Most people don't know or care to think about these things. You know...because it's "morbid". Pssh.
