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.

The funeral home my Mother chose had an ecological option.
And being the hippie flower growing person she was, she chose it.
Basically, you're wrapped in linen, not embalmed, put in a cardboard box, and lowered into a grave that doesn't have a cement liner.

We liked it a lot.
The friends and family who didn't know ahead of time were a little put off by the card board box.
But whats a funeral without a few laughs?

;)

Yay books!

That's awesome! Slowing down the process just doesn't make sense to me.

Exactly! I mean if there ever comes a zombie dead army rising from the ground, I know my Mom is safe from being a minion of the undead, cuz there's just nothing there to rise anymore!

:)

The funeral home also let you plant on the plots, I was all for a fruit tree of some sort, but no one would let me, they thought it was gross.

I'd have eaten the apples.

Man, Mom Apples are so good!
