Old News, Would you have this done instead of Cremation or Burial?

Just throw me in a hole and let nature take care of things. No need for fancy coffins, chemicals, wasting fuel, etc.

I would like to be mummified, might be fun.

Send me to the taxidermist. Maybe I could get a job in a museum display, later on.

holy crap, I appear to be the only person to vote yes. I could care less what happens to me after I'm dead, if that'll save an 8X3 foot plot of land than I'm all for it.

That would turn our bodies, those wonderful garden materials, into toxic ('cause what're they going to use for a solvent?) waste & pollute the environment instead of enriching it.

I've enjoyed my time on this green world, & I'd like to return to it.

In Texas, you can opt for a green burial, either in a designated cemetary or on your own land.

The cemetaries offer several types of coffin, from cardboard to plain wood.

I've told my brother that, if I go first, he's to wrap me in an old quilt & bury me, not too deeply, by the creek at his house.

If he hears coyotes yipping & something that sounds like bones being crunched, he's to turn up the tv & have another beer.
