Here is another article on eco-burials. I really am all for this. We have hundreds of acres of grave yards that could be used for something more productive than holding our rotting worthless bodies. Add to that the stuff we bury in the ground. What a waste of time, energy and money.

Personally, I will be happy to help fertilize Duane Chamberlain's field.

I am not interested in being a cherry tree like the woman in the article. Maybe an olive tree -- in a reminder of one of the biggest waste of taxpayer dollars in the history of Woodland.

I've always had the same idea on burial:

I want two guys and two dogs packed in the front of a 60's model Chevy truck. They'll be packed up for hunting, tearing through the woods on a tiny little trail. Probably drinking Pabst Blue Ribbon.

My body will be sitting in the back...or at least it will until they hit a big bump and my body flies out.

None of them will notice when it happens. My body will be gnawed on by small animals, insects, and others and it will be gone in a week. Nobody will know where it was, or even care.

Natural Burial Around the World

The modern concept of natural burial began in the UK in 1993 and has since spread across the globe. According the Centre for Natural Burial, http://naturalburial.coop there are now several hundred natural burial grounds in the United Kingdom and half a dozen sites across the USA, with others planned in Canada, New Zealand, South Africa and even China.

A natural burial allows you to use your funeral as a conservation tool to create, restore and protect urban green spaces.

The Centre for Natural Burial provides comprehensive resources supporting the development of natural burial and detailed information about natural burial sites around the world. With the Natural Burial Co-operative newsletter you can stay up-to-date with the latest developments in the rapidly growing trend of natural burial including, announcements of new and proposed natural burial sites, book reviews, interviews, stories and feature articles.
