I'd advocate for a complete disregard of human remains today, because death is supposed to be benefit for the environment. Just reuse the organs that are in good shape, then grind and compost the corpses.
- SketchySeaBeast 6y agoI mean, speaking purely objectively, you're probably right, instead of locking the dead away in concrete and wooden boxes, but that's gonna be fun to try and normalize. Maybe we could cute it up? Add the funeral equivalent of the ring bearer to turn on the mulcher for grandma?
- saalweachter 6y agoJust think of it as carbon sequestration.

- Nasrudith 6y agoComposting carries risks - generally we don't want anything "eating" human flesh. Scavengers or bacteria as it breeds more virulent pestilence and possibly man eaters. Cremation while a bit ghastly and requiring fuel accomplishes the task the best. But the environment is always a nuanced priority - like deep landfills vs surface dumping of any given substance.
