Compost me when I die!
Another innovative idea, instead of a funeral, or cremation, there is growing interest in composting people.
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 |

I discussed this with my brother who worked as an Ethics advisor for President Bush #2. His response was that it meshes nicely with Christian teachings and old testament Jewish teachings about how to deal with dead bodies.
As for going first, ABSOLUTELY, the project is in the early phases and working to meet government regulations - hopefully, I will live long enough for it to be available. The alternative, I have told my wife to cremate me and flush the ashes, she has agreed to the cremation, but refuses to agree to flush me - LOL |

It goes a step beyond decomposition, to composting.

If you’ve decomposed in the forest, you’ve composted. No muss, no fuss.

There is still the problem of heavy metals and other non-compostable body parts that need to be dealt with. But, the same idea, returning to nature rather than being buried in a $20K coffin and a vault to seal you off for a while. |

My niece just planted a tree on their property in New York with the remains of her parents. I think it is wonderful.

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? |
