Subject: RE: BS: Green Burial: How Do You Want to Go?
Well if I could, I'd just like to be shoved on the compost heap, minus any sort of case or coffin, but that isn't possible so mostly I go with Rhiannon's ideas. I don't want to be cremated. I know I won't care when it comes to the time, but since the first cremation I went to I have a deep disgust at the idea. I'm not really sure why.
Rhiannon, there's a BIG difference in price between cane and cardboard. The basket work coffins are expensive. I don't want my family to be spending ridiculous amounts of money on my funeral which would be used to better purpose in their lives, so I want a coffin made of either cardboard or reclaimed wood...a packing case would be great.
I want a tree planted to mark the spot. I don't want a Christian service, obviously. The Pagan Funeral Trust seems a good idea, though I'd be happy with a group of friends and family performing the ceremony.
I most definitely DO want, after it's all over a bloody big sing composed of as many of my friends and family as are left and can make it. How are you fixed??
