Eco/natural burial

ATC110 · 2020-05-09 21:56:54

Has anyone planned a minimalist eco/natural burial for themselves or someone else? Would be grateful for any advice on how to go about it. TIA

Something which should be noted, and I don't think was mentioned in previous threads -

"Donating your body to science" doesn't resolve the body disposal issue. When the medics are finished with it it still has to be buried or cremated, so all the issues of having a funeral and what to do with the body still arise.

Fingal County Council are certainly not competent to be making decisions about the most important piece of infrastructure on the island. They need to stick to badly designed cycle lanes and deciding on whether Mrs Murphy can have her kitchen extension.
