1. This is a wonderful idea

I have a somewhat non-conventional attitude about death, dying, burials, etc.

I've always believed that simply burying a body in the ground without all that "stuff" like steel coffins would be far superior. This is even better. And it honors the circle of life, and works with Mother Nature not against her.

I really like this. Wonder how much it costs??

ETA: They tout it as "several thousand dollars" less than usual funerals, but it's still IMO quite expensive. Nevertheless, a lovely idea. I think we'll probably go with cremation and sprinkling the ashes wherever. When my brother died this past August, we were able to get him cremated for just under $700 -- and since he was a Vietnam veteran, his ashes were sent to the nearest national cemetary.
