The environmental toll of cremating the dead

[Rorey]

8. Oh, I think I'm going to have to pass on that

The part where the "soil" is returned to the family is where I said, "Nope!" And then also the part about how particular types of compost aren't safe to use on just anything.


This past summer I had the experience of having an unattended death in my rental. I learned a whole lot about the decomposition process during the two months it took me to restore my little house. Cremation for me, and quickly. (Well, I hope they make sure I'm actually dead, of course.)
