    I won't be having one. I'm donating my body to the local teaching hospital, then when they are done I wish to be cremated.

    Graveyards are perhaps the worst use of land we have ever concocted. 
    The entire burial enterprise is a sick, arrogant affront to nature, a waste of resources and a liability to future generations. 
    I have no wish for my useless remains to be boxed up and stuck in a human dump with some quaint passage to mark the location.

    I agree about the sick arrogant aspect but I am quite happy to feed the earth, after all it supplied me with everything I needed while alive.

    Good point. You could always do it without a tombstone. Nobody would know you were under there. LOL

  • There's also a problem with ashes. They can have negative chemical effects, especially when many people choose to scatter them in the same spot, like some particularly beautiful river or stretch of coastline.
    Tibetan Buddhists and Mumbai Parsees probably have the most ecological approach - sky burials.

  • Into this Universe, and Why not knowing,

    Nor Whence, like Water willy-nilly flowing:

    And out of it, as Wind along the Waste,

    I know not Whither, willy-nilly blowing.


    ~ from the Rubaiyat of Omar Khayyam

    Although really I'd rather just not be in a cemetery or even a coffin.
    I'd like to be wrapped in a shroud and buried unmarked on our farm with an avocado tree planted
    and growing tall and fecund from my nutrients.
