Do you want to be Buried, Cremated or COMPOSTED?

[JohnO]

I've just increased my vocabulary. Terramation!

Terramation is also known as natural organic reduction or human composting, and transforms human remains into life-giving soil.

How should one look at this option? The tree huggers will be ecstatic. Perhaps you always wanted to sprinkle your mother-in-law on the lawn and have Fido defecate on her every day? Gives new depth of meaning to a Memorial Garden.

Maybe the New York/New Jersey Mob was way ahead of their time digging holes in the Jersey Pine Barrens? Environmentalists! Who knew?

Side note: I always figured they stuck Ted Kennedy in the ground at Arlington next to his brother JFK to keep the Eternal Flame going. Ted's alcohol content had to be good enough for 50 more years of flame.

This got me going this morning. Government at it's best.

Extra Krispy...with a side order of fries.

Take me to the taxidermist and then put me in my favorite rocking chair, looking out the window at the passerbys.

Or soylent green.

Cremated, and at least part of me spread with my late wife and all the dogs on a specific beach on Lake Michigan.

The thought of spending eternity in the cold, damp, ground gives me the shivers. Just scatter my earthly remains in the city park.

Oh, and I'm deathly afraid of fire, so no cremation.

Right now my wife knows I want to be cremated and given to Pacific Crest Trail thru hikers to be spread at various points along the trail.

I would prefer composting though, hopefully next to some hops or fruit trees.

So, chipper?

Extra Krispy...with a side order of fries.

I'm signed up for extra crispy, but with sprinkles.

I'll be dead, so it's not as though I'm going to care one way or another. My brother was buried in a "eco-cemetery", which pretty much was a Muslim burial.

Wrap my body in plastic and set it out on Trash Day, for all I care. I'll have finished using it.
