Woodland burials: repose in green

Traditional funerals take perfectly serviceable nutrients, a ton of chemicals, and a box treated to last until 2999, and put them in a plot of land which grows not and neither does it spin (though as a good Hippyshopper you should be spinning in there). A great alternative is Woodland Burials, where when you're done using your body, you're planted in a pleasant, quiet hillside to return to the earth from which you sprang. With a Woodland Burial, you contribute back to the planet instead of locking up more of its resources. I plan to be scattered, but some say I am already. [GT / John]
