Quote HistoryQuoted: Whatever happened to wrapping them in a sheet and burying them in a pine box? You know, the original composting that doesn't require an industrial incubator? I'd bet that lobbyist-authored regulations have made that illegal. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: Meh, too much fuss with all the tumbling and oxygenating and heating. Just dump me in the dirt or burn me up. It's just meat, no reason to do so much to it. Quote HistoryQuoted: Quoted: I would do that. Other than my family having to haul away the compost. There already enough junk in the garage.

Quote HistoryQuoted: USN still requires you to be field dressed and embalmed prior to burial. Then there is transport to the ship. The actual burial is free for veterans I believe but the rest of the crap is not. Cremated Remains (Cremains): Cremains must be in an urn or temporary container (preferably Bio-degradable) to prevent spillage in shipping. Recent changes in law prohibit the discharge of plastics at sea. Families are encouraged to have the cremains inurned directly, or transferred to a sturdy biodegradable urn at their local funeral home to facilitate burial at sea. Burial at Sea Coordinators at the ports of embarkation are available to field any questions regarding the urns. The cremains, along with the completed Burial at Sea Request package should be forwarded to the Burial at Sea Coordinator at the desired port of embarkation (listed below). Prior to shipment, it is recommended that a phone call be made informing the coordinator of the pending request. ONLY Priority Mail Express Service is authorized when shipping cremains and it is recommended that that Tracking and Signature On Delivery is used to ensure the package is delivered to the correct individual in a timely manner. Intact Remains (Casketed): Specific guidelines are required for the preparation of casketed remains. All expenses incurred in this process are the responsibility of the PADD, who will select a funeral home in the area of the port of embarkation. After this selection has been made and notification has been provided to the coordinator, the casketed remains, the request form, supporting documents, and the burial flag are to be forwarded to the receiving funeral home. The coordinator will make the inspection and complete the checklist for the preparation of casketed remains. It is recommended that funeral homes responsible for preparing and shipping intact remains contact the Mortuary Services office at Navy Casualty in Millington, TN to receive the preparation requirements. https://www.public.navy.mil/bupers-npc/support/casualty/mortuary/Pages/BAS.aspx |

Quote HistoryQuoted: The Germans (among others in Europe) recycle graves after X number of years. It's called "clearing." Basically they throw you in the same hole formerly occupied by someone else. Lather, rinse, repeat. Reason = the don't have the land to keep making new cemeteries. You don't buy cemetery plots. You pay for a temporary lease on them. Why else were they digging up Poor Yorick in Hamlet? They were reusing his grave. Europe has had this figured out for millennia. The real problem is embalming has basically turned many graves into superfund sites of preserved biomatter, not to mention the legal prohibition on reusing graves, which is why they need faster/more efficient measures like remote composting to break down bodies fast enough. Another approach is what they do in New Orleans with the crypt system (let the body decay to bones in the tomb, shove the bones into a compartment in the rear after a few years) |

Quote HistoryQuoted: The Funeral industry will find a way to make it expensive. We just paid $4000 to have my FIL cremated and put in a ziplock &cardboard box. Should have used a family funeral home. I do it for $2200 and you don’t get a sales pitch. |

I'm ok with this. Much rather have myself composted and spread over say a national forest than get pumped full of chemicals and buried in a box or even cremated. Especially so if it costs a lot less. I'd much rather have my "burial expenses" spent at my wake on some
great bbq (my recipes) and an open bar with quality beer and whiskey. I'd consider throwing in some some kind of dancers too. I want my last act to be entertaining my family and friends then bon voyage. |

Sounds good to me if it's cheaper than cremation. I'm actually a little torn because cremation is closer to the pyre I would prefer but composting is much more...I mean one of my jobs is permaculture designer.
Either way just feed me to the trees. |

Eh, I'm fine with it.
Nothing is more retarded than having someone gut you and pump you full of chemicals, sew your mouth and butthole shut and then put you in nice clothes and then put you into a multi thousand dollar coffin that will last 500 years... Considering we live on a planet with finite space. People that want to be buried in a plot are nuts. Should be burned or composted or some other method that doesn't leave anything significant behind. Hell just throw me off a tailgate way back in the woods. I worked a death a while back of a guy whose meth head friends freaked out when he OD'd and they drove him way out in the forest and dumped him. Think he'd been there for a year and change. Couple controlled burns and coyotes later, barely half a bag of bones and a jacked up wristwatch scattered over a 50 yard area was all that was left. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: Oh sure why not. It's not hot enough to pasteurized the remaind or let's spread some more diseases. A hot compost can absolutely kill any diseases. Pasteurization is typically 145f for 30 minutes. Even without the turning, aeration and supplemental heat I've had piles stay over 145f for two weeks, and those are small piles in open air. The big municipal windrows get so hot the material is completely sterilized, even the heat loving compost bacteria die. |
