I had a hard time answering to this. It's because of my heritage. I really won't go into a lot of it, but my mother insisted that I had to have her embalmed and entombed, which I did according to her wishes. She sits in a crypt and will probably look the same as the day she went there if she were unentombed in the future and way into the future. My husband, on the other hand, got cremated and he shares my bedroom with me. I myself don't care if the vultures and crows eat me, but that will be up to whoever disposes of me. I guess I just had to say this.
