I'm a firm believer not only in recycling but in keeping the expense down. Since slow oxidation in the treetops or being placed at the bottom of my compost pile is illegal in New Hampshire, I'll settle for cremation and my ashes being scattered over the North Atlantic. I do intend to carve my own slate gravestone, however, probably in a very traditional style (pre-willow and urns) and with lots of ligatures since that's what I spend so much time studying. Got into a wonderful graveyard in Chester, Vermont a few weeks ago -- and me without a camera or rubbing materials!
