National Geographic:
Cremation by itself is much better for the environment than embalming, but you can go even further by using cremains to grow a tree or promote marine reefs. The company Coeio has taken ecoburial to a new level by introducing a burial suit that’s lined with spores that decompose the body and grow into mushrooms—from death, life.
As a Nova Scotianer, I’d love to be buried at sea off the coast of my home province. After all the food the ocean has provided me (I’ve eaten hundreds of pounds of lobster), I think it’s only fair I feed the little fishies right back.
My mother’s ashes are still waiting in a sealed box for that day I keep meaning to scatter her off the back of the Staten Island Ferry. If I owned a garden, I’d certainly have gone that way much sooner.
Shawn, I hope you’re waiting to die first before the cremation thing.
It depends on how hung over I am on any given day….
