Body Donation in Maryland

[Mary Roach]

That being said, one book I found very fascinating was "Stiff: The Curious Lives of Human Cadavers" by Mary Roach. Although written with a great deal of humor, it is a very informative about what happens to a body after death and quite eye-opening.

bury the dog in the ground, he got recycled..bury the wife long ago..guess she is recycled...I want the same..take what can help others and bury the rest to feed the worms. "I" am gone and the shell of the body is not "me".

Reuse/recycle/renew...
.maybe I should get one of those Recycle tattoos on my chest...

We don't get recycled anymore, we get "stored indefinetly"..

I read that there is a group out in California (where else) that is permitting primative burials...only so many a year allowed...and you get put in a grave as is and over time you biodegrade. No persertives, no chemicals.....Makes good sense to me.

Here is the web site:
It is called Natural Burials....
and it seems many are now going "green" in death.
Not a bad idea...

Much better article by AARP on Green Burials...
Even talks about how expensive a standard burial is compared to a green one.
Something to thinnk about...
