That would never happen to you, Vrai. You'd never live thru the embalming! Now don't you feel comforted?

Hmmm...what about a "green" funeral? where they bury you in a field...no chemicals, no casket. just you in the earth. i like that idea...

I was wondering if any of the funeral homes offered the most green method of all "The Chipper" and if you plan it right they can perform the service at your home and chip any brush you have laying around for one low price!

yeah, but that is donation to science right? not really comparable to a "green" burial is it? Its an interesting idea but I can't really bring myself to say (at this point) that I want strangers messing with my body after i'm dead...but i guess the morticioner is going to do that anyhow...
