    Thanks for your knowledge, I was basing mine off of historical/archeological burial methods

    Seems kinda selfish not to let the wood and body rot into the ground. That is the basis of the soil lifecycle is it not?

      Oh it’s absolutely a racket and a wasteful industry relying on sentimentality, religion, and mourning families.

      I’d be all for throwing our corpses into grinders and (after some sanitation, no doubt) feeding crops or something, assuming any transplantable organs and any scientific work were done with them. But I’m certainly in a tiny minority.
