In one of the Scandinavian countries (I forget which, but it's mentioned in another post) they've developed a way to reduce a corpse into compostable granules, like coffee grounds, and some Americans are trying another method - https://www.sciencenews.org/article/turning-human-bodies-into-compost-works-small-trial-suggests<br />I'm imagining the binmens' reaction to finding you...Margaret Nelsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01493624466366591603noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12550587.post-71053576153100260542021-04-21T17:43:16.825+01:002021-04-21T17:43:16.825+01:00An interesting post, I've told the kids if I&#...An interesting post, I've told the kids if I'm thin enough my limbs can go in the brown bin for composting. It says limbs up to 100m wide in the Council leaflet, so that leaves a torso and head for a bargain cut price funeral.

I have to admit you have voiced a few things I would only previously let myself half-think.<br /><br />When all the stuff was going on, and while I was helping to organise X's funeral, I hardly thought about anything except trying to make sure I did all I could to assist in following the "plan". The background thud in my clunking brain at the time was: BLOODY HELL! When my time comes, just do yourselves a favour and shove me in the wheelie bin or something! I won't care how you get rid, only thing is, make sure somebody buys a few rounds of stiff drinks. And please, if anyone pisses off my genuinely loved ones, you hereby have my permission to KICK THEM IN THE TEETH!.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12550587.post-1141706692606575902006-03-07T04:44:00.000+00:002006-03-07T04:44:00.000+00:00I am in total agreement.

And besides, a funeral is for the survivors not the deceased. The way I look at it, when I'm dead, I'm dead. No afterlife, no heaven, no hell. All that stuff is for the living not the dead.<BR/><BR/>My sister rosa told me of your logs blogs and your utter contempt for religion(a viewpoint I share wholeheartedly). I just wrote a piece on the Christian God on my blog, meanderings and memoirs that might interest you.
