You all have good ideas about what to do with the body after death. I have also wanted to have a green burial. I've heard there is a possibility to cremate my body so that only the most basic elements are left. This way, it will be easier for the bacteria and other living organisms to consume me.
But the point about dying in the woods so the animals can eat me is not bad. However, there are not many funerals in my area, and what happens if someone finds my remnants? Maybe I have to leave a note saying I was not killed?
Even if nothing of this works out, I would prefer direct funeral services. Meaning my friends and family would not go to the cemetery but gather somewhere to remember me one last time.

I have left my body to the local medical school, learning has been my life, so afterwards perhaps I can still help someone else do the same.

Me too. The last thing I want is to be a handful of ashes holed up in a little concrete block, forever sealed off from the rest of the biome for as long as possible. When you're done taking in more food, it's time to give back.

There’s a guy who's written the best books on my beautiful former state. He and I like cemeteries; strangely, I’d stumbled on to his favorite - and purchased 6 plots (the most they’d sell at one time, and ya had to have kin in the area) in the oldest section near the hilltop.

Now, 3 thousand miles away, with the logistics of shipping ‘my body’ across the continent.. I plan to be cremated. A daughter has described sprinkling ‘some of me’ around my home state’s most magnificent places. Nitrogen, Calcium, Salts ...instantly available to living organisms..

Encased in a coffin six feet under a beautiful landscape no longer sounds as ..worthwhile

How long do you think that coffin will keep your body from the earth?
