Sounds like common sense to me to reuse remains for compost. Not sure if I would like to actually give back that compost to my relatives though. Sounds gross. Can't we just give it to some generic compost provider for gardeners instead ?

A no-brainer, in my opinion. When I sense the time has come, I’ll climb into the bin myself and save my loved ones the grief.

Damn. I thought this was going to be another political focused thread.
I'm so relieved.

Traditional Jewish practice runs along these lines, but without the enhancements. No embalming, a wooden casket without metal. Dust to dust, it's a mitzvah, yo!

Same. Plan to donate to science.

I like the idea of a sky burial. Feed the birds.

Pretty soon they'll be breeding us like cattle although I like to think we will taste like Mutton.

Tower of Silence all the way.
