Woodland burial in biodegadable containers or wraps is quite popular in the UK. You don't get buried in a wood - you get buried in a shallow grave in a special place and a tree is planted over you so that you sustain it. You can later have the tree labelled with your details if you want so your descendants can come and visit and find the right tree. I like the idea very much.

Yes, give back some oxygen you used during your life! ?

I think this is great!! I hope that I can be recycled this way when I die.

My dream burial (can there be such a thing?) is to be buried in a vertical fetal position with a tree planted on my head.

What a great idea. Thanks for posting. I wasn't aware this was even an option.

Why would the family have to get the soil? Perhaps others could have it if the family is not in a position to do anything useful with it, e.g. they live in an apartment?

I like the concept. One way or another, the body will decompose anyway...eventually. May as well make it as useful as possible. There already are green burials, which I am considering for myself, though I probably will go with cremation as it is easier to deal with the the ashes.

How about That!?! Every good non-religious gardener ought to be intrigued. ?

Posted by KateOahuI saw some pretty flowers on a walk today. I’d never seen a white Hibiscus before. And I do not know what the pink flowers are.

Posted by 1patriotOne of the main reasons for last year’s ‘spike’, which the media and government agencies have avoided mentioning, is the Hunga Tonga volcano eruption two years ago.
