I found this interesting link about the confessions of a funeral director and a pastor’s disagreement about the cremation of the body. I found it to be quite hypocritical, considering the history of all the victims being burned by the church in history.
I'm having a cremation and my ashes will be spread out in the ocean off Norfolk for fish food. With any luck I might come back as a whale. hahahahahaha.
Planning a "green burial." One of my friends owns some land in the country. There is a cemetery that only has two burials – infants who died around 1860. A green burial means just like those children were buried. Dig a hole at least 3 feet deep and roll my earthly remains back into the earth. The funeral industry has a powerful lobby, but some type of green burial is allowed in most states. Further info: greenburialcouncil.org.
