Sounds crazy right, except, that is what people did for literally ever until someone found a way to make lots of money off people dying.
I understand that just planting a body in your backyard is both illegal and unsanitary and can spread disease. BUT...
Compositing results in perfectly safe residue and has a far lower carbon footprint than either burial or cremation. Give it a read, I like it.
now you can compost human bodies too |
There are fox hunting clubs in the UK and Ireland where it is traditional that if a fox hunting horse dies, it is donated to the club kennels, where it is cut up, cooked, and fed to the hounds. When the hounds are out running, they pause from time to time to distribute the horse over the fields it loved. If you have ever been a fox hunter, you understand how “right” this seems, and how romantic. Both horses and hounds love fox hunting, and foxes seem to enjoy the game of wits, too.
How about for Village golfers, a little gadget on the back of a golf cart that slowly trickles ashes, a pinch at a time, all over someone’s favorite golf course?
