I'd love to be disposed of in a cool and eco-friendly way. Give the nutrients back to nature so to speak. I'd be fine with just being tossed in a bog etc and letting things eat away. But rules and all...even the most basic no frills cremation is something like 1500usd which is obscene in my view. I find the 5 figure events with ornate sealed caskets to be ridiculous.
- bufbupa 7y agoNo less expensive, but composting seems to be a "cool and eco-friendly" way to bow out. "...turn the bodies into about two wheelbarrows of soil within a month. Loved ones and families can keep the new material to spread or even use it to plant vegetables or a tree." https://www.cbsnews.com/news/washington-state-composting-bodies-is-now-legal-natural-burial/ https://www.cbsnews.com/news/washington-state-composting-bod...
- mruts 7y agoYou could have a tibetan sky burial and be cut into pieces of meat to feed the vultures. It’s probably pretty cheap too.

- mruts 7y agoI think you have the wrong thread buddy.
- sls 7y agoHe's replying to a comment suggesting that dead people be fed to vultures with the observation that elderly people are a population with a propensity for being treated with diclofenac and a link indicating that the presence of this drug in carcasses is threatening vulture populations.
- ggm 7y agoBingo.
- gingabriska 7y agoThis was a big issue in India I remember but "cattles" instead of "human" bodies.
- ggm 7y agoYes. I think the drug was being used in animal feed
