I have given much thought to cremation - I might still do it, but its not a very eco way to go.
I like the concept of the coffin and I can see how it works for people.
I have been thinking about this since Darcy showed it - months ago he took me to a beautiful burial ground not far from him. Its completely beautiful and eerie. The whole place is simply like a huge field. If it wasn't for the odd trees with names etched into the bark and broken wooden crosses, you would never realise you were walking on graves. People are placed their in wooden or 'cardboard' caskets and simply - rot. Back into the earth and soil. To me, that was far more fitting an end than any other funeral I have ever seen or attended.
But I would love to combine it with this idea. Get all my friends to stick something on my coffin to rot, or draw and write their love on my casket to rot with my body. I'm not into people mourning and crying when I die. I want them to have a beer for me.
