    You could just be buried in a shallow grave with your arse protruding a number of inches out of the ground. This could then be used as a growing pot for a small Oak sapling. In hundreds of years time young androids will make out under that tree, little knowing that it grew out of the arse of a real human.

    Anybody else's puckerhole start cold-sweating reading this?

    Pardon my ignorance but.. do you need to apply for permission to do that?

    Also when you say 'no headstone'.. I'm imagining news headlines when someone's dog sniffs you out while out for walkies :o :pac:
    There's a woodland burial ground in Wexford, the Green Graveyard company that do woodland burials with biodegradable coffins etc. Otherwise it could be a bit creepy alright:D

    My husband and I are having woodland burials. No funeral, no priest, no fuss and no concrete or marble. No headstones.

    My uncle had one of those. They threw in an execution before hand for free.

    I meant that you made it sound like children currently climb you and fall off.

    I retract my earlier statement... Green Graveyard all the way!!

    A little passage from the website www.greengraveyard.com
    Don't lay me in some gloomy churchyard shaded by a wall
    Where the dust of ancient bones has spread a dryness over all,
    Lay me in some leafy loam where, sheltered from the cold
    Little seeds investigate and tender leaves unfold.
    There kindly and affectionately, plant a native tree
    To grow resplendent before God and hold some part of me.
    The roots will not disturb me as they wend their peaceful way
    To build the fine and bountiful, from closure and decay.
    To seek their small requirements so that when their work is done
    I’ll be tall and standing strongly in the beauty of the sun.

    Sob

    there are little/no "nutrients" in human ashes.the heat of the crematoruim destroys all living cells etc,Bone is mainly calcium phosphate, plus traces of other elements, including stored pollutants like lead. The watery parts are tinged with carbon and nitrogen, iron and sulfur, chlorine and sodium, and a suite of trace elements from arsenic to zinc.
    That's what I understood too. In Sweden there's an alternative method where instead of cremating you they freeze-dry you, then grind you up (that'd be a great job, wouldn't it :eek:). That way the nutrients are preserved apparently.
