    Why wouldn't we do this? Burial as we know it is only as new as the American Civil War. This is better for the world in general and falls in line with the rest of the hundreds of thousands of years of our history as a species. The only more wasteful use of property beyond a cemetery is probably a golf course.

    Meh, trivial and expensive.

    With the restrictions can't do much with the soil, maybe a flower garden.

    Don't environmentalists think flower gardens waste water?

    Tumbleweeds? Seems like that would be pretty easy to accomplish

    Uhm, the pyramids? Catacombs in Rome? We've been burying our dead for, well, for ever. Burying the dead is one of those things that makes us human- like cave painting and making beads.

    Stuff like prions seem like good enough reason to keep bodies out of the farm cycle as much as we can.

    Meh. Put me in a plywood box that will rot alongside me, and I'll be just fine. Bonus points if it's the last thing I make for myself with a tracksaw and some Kreg screws.
    Math is tough. Let's go shopping!

    I have several neighbors I would like to see returned to nature.

    There is a place out east on Smith Road that will chop up a body for free.

    They sell the usable stuff, incinerate the gunk and return the ashes to the family.

    I’ve already told my wife to just cremate me. It’s the cheap, easy way to do it.
