I've never wanted to be buried, I live in London and it always seemed an awful waste of space ( apart from the widlife it helps support ) and could be horrible for your relations when they find out yours is not the only body in the grave! ( Depending on the cemetary, you can have up to five bodies in one grave, with the most recently deceased's stone on the top. ) Not to mention that all the trappings ( coffin, hearse to get you there etc. ) an awful waste of resources.

But I never felt happy with the amount of fuel needed to burn a body and then you still had the expense. In england, you still have to be in a pine box, at least, to be cremated, although you can be buried in almost anything down to a cardboard box!

Then, a couple of years ago, a brilliant idea by a woman in Norway supplied my answer. After removing any viable organs ( my choice ) the body is frozen with liquid nitrogen and then broken up. The effect of freezing with liquid nitrogen means that when the tissue thaws out, it is far easier for microbes etc. to break it down further. The result is that instead of taking 5 - 20 years ( depending on embalming, type of coffin etc. ) for the body to decay back to the soil, it only takes up to 2 years! And 'cos you're being buried, you can use a cardboard box. Hurrah!

I don't want a headstone, if people must do something , than an appropriate tree would be the thing.

And a big party.

With lots of music and singing.

And bad jokes.

And a good percentage of hangovers the next day.

I think that's all.
