I never really understood the need to be buried in a coffin after you pass on. Just cremate me and throw my ashes on the ground to fertilize the plants. Enough of these grave real estates
this is why i think we should turn cemeteries into parks, where you just choose a place for a little sign which will effectively be your grave, just that you become nutrients for the surrounding plants.
I read that the ash is actually quite bad for fertilising plants… And it might even hinder the plants growth… I don’t have the source handy, unfortunately…
So if you want to be environmental, your best bet is probably to be composted (only legal en very few places) or buried in a cardboard coffin.

You know what they say, funerals are for the living. Some people want a specific place to grieve.

That’s a nice idea! Honestly, if they must, just put up a picture of me and pray at my makeshift altar. All the more eco friendly alternative I think
Like the Motari Nebula, for example
