Body Composting

There are a lot of benefits to body composting like you leave less of a carbon footprint. Takes a lot of resources to bury someone in a wood box and a lot of energy to cremate. Another benefit is it attracts a lot of beneficial micro organisms that improve soil. So I am all for it. Cheers! This post was edited by Nanoose at July 4, 2022 8:12 PM MDT

Sounds like something I might look into.

(uh - - there's  dangling preposition or whatever in that sentence - - well, with returnhome.com, that wouldn't be the only thing I left dangling, ha.)

Sounds like a cool plan to me! 

My desire to be cremated is mostly based on having issues with the whole 'worms crawl in, worms crawl out' process, so I'm not sure I can wrap my head around it for me, personally.  

If there were an option to donate your body as food for a large predator rescue facility, I would totally be down with that. 

I, too, am opposed to in-ground burial.  It takes up land that could be used to benefit the living.  One of my nieces found this website that does eco-friendly burials:  https://urnabios.com/

It sounds quite clever. I'm going to be sliced and diced by medical students, and when they are done, I will have my family look into it.

I have a grave site next to my Mother and grandparents that was given to me.  The one thing I don't like about it; there are restrictions on what you can put on the gravestone.  Name, birth and death date. That's about it.  The stones are flat on the ground and very plain, no exceptions, I already tried to expand on the information.  In my mind, I designed a oral and hologram method of recording history and image for future generations.  It will happen one day, I just wish i could make it happen now.  It would activate like the cooler lights at the grocery store; when you walk by they go on then turn off automatically.  It would be a great way to leave a lasting short message for future generations.  
Death is so final and this would be a way to reach out to future generations and leave our wisdom for our gggg grandkids and anyone who is interested.

Still prefer to be cremated. It's the last chance I'll ever get to have a smoking hot body. Contrariwise, I have a fear of being buried alive.

I will be dead, so it won't matter to me.
