Not up for the cremation thing tho'.

way OT tangent here but I am all for cremation. Even tho I may be dead and my body just an object, I really don't relish the worms and funk that would inhibit it........ scatter me from the Portland Head Light..... yup.

off topic and worse, while my xh worked in a crematory/funeral home, we had the agreement that he wouldn't run my ashes through the 'vibrator' (the thing that vibrates the still-whole chunks into dust) and he'd just put me in a photoshopped Jiff or Skippy jar labeled "Here lies Aryn- Chunky Style" etc, so it (the label) looked real, with all the 'fine print' being things about me and my life. If I die before 40, I still want that... after that, I might want more respectable disposal of my mortal coil, but I want it to reflect my dry, icky sense of humor in life.

I figure that creation takes your mortal organic carbon and turns it into CO2, contributing to global warming.

A typical cemetary burial uses up land and keeps that useful carbon locked in a sealed vault for decades.

I want my mortal carbon recycled into the biosphere, to do good for another creature. So I'd like to be buried in the woods in a pine box. Or left for the scavengers and recyclers of the invertebrate world to do their thing with. That's my wish, but there are probably laws against it in the US.
