Not that it is. But I just put up a similar thread a couple of days ago with Andy Griffith in the title and it was taken down within a few hours. I thought the few comments it had time to get were great discussion.
But it doesn't seem to be something a lot of folks are comfortable talking about. Strange to me. Anyway, I had previously posted that I wish many would open up their minds about natural burial vs. modern methods.
I like the idea of not being preserved and burial on family lands.
Not sure i'd want to be buried within only a couple of hours after being presumed dead, in fact the whole idea of burial gives me the creeps, burn this body to ashes when i pass on and scatter those ashes somewhere appropriate.

So you are worried about not actually being dead - but want to be possibly burned alive rather then put under the ground where at the very least a communication system could be implemented should you wake up?
I'm not so sure that crematories are set up for instant ability to stop the fire - and to extinguish a flaming person whose vocal cords may have been damaged by smoke and fumes thus rendering your screams silent.

I think that's awesome. I have always wondered the same thing. I just want to be put in the ground, with my blood and skin intact. I don't know why that's illegal. I bury my dogs on our property, don't know why I can't be too.

That is what I opted for, only because it's cheap. I don't want any ceremony or service, just do it quietly with no fanfare. I won't know the difference.
