When you die

Ok, this is something my mom and I have talked about every so often over the years. Death and what we want done with our remains when that final breath is drawn.
My mom wants to be buried in the most natural way possible (no embalming, no vault, a simple, biodegradable casket or a shroud and a simple grave that would allow for a quick decomposition back into the soil).
I also want to be buried in a totally natural way (or cremated) with a simple tree to mark my plot.
I didn't know if you legally could be buried without a casket in the U.S.A. so i looked it up and found out you can. There are natural burial plots scattered throughout the U.S. Here's a link to a site locating some of them: http://naturalburial.coop/USA/
I know this seems like a strange thing to be posting about but death is as natural as life and I hate the way our modern day burial techniques retard the natural process of decomposition. I want to feed the Earth as it has fed me.
How do you want to be buried?

For real. In many places you cant even have large gave stones anymore because it make it harder to mow the lawns 

I guess it doesnt matter. One day the earth will not even be here at all.

Nowadays, the notion of having a grave stone is very archaic IMHO.
In the old days, it served as a memory or a legacy or whatever.
With the advent of the Internet, I think you will be remembered if you were meant to be. There's no need to immortalize your life with a piece of carved stone.

I can understand that. I want to be burned as well tho. Labowski style.

Cremated and scattered somewhere, either from the top of my favorite hiking mountain or into the ocean.

Donate anything of use to science or those in need.
Burn the rest and scatter the ashes into the Puget Sound.

I'm donating all my organs and being cremated. Fuck my dead body being displayed and then buried into the ground in an expensive box. Throw me into the wind and call it a day.

Don't know if they will allow it but i want my body to be sectioned into 4 pieces and 1 to be burnt, 1 to be buried, 1 to be thrown to sea and one to be burnt and the ashes scattered into the wind. basically following along with the whole 4 elements deal. and if thats not possible a natural burial.

i'm down with the whole organ donor thing. only issue i have with it is i don't want my organs to be used to further scientific research that helps to line the pockets of corporate coffers.
if my organs are used for immediate transplant to help keep someone else alive or living a healthier life it's all good.

Natural burial for me and the wife. My wife actually wants a redwood planted on top of her site.
Me, I didn't really care until like you I found out that natural burials where legal. That's the way.
