I watched a video on You Tube about composting dead folks. They put you in a cylinder covered with a cotton sheet and organic material plants flowers and such and the cylinder has ventilation and in 30 days your compost. Any bones left they grind up like when you're cremated and throw it in the compost. It's only legal in three states, Washington, Oregon and Colorado, If my cremation wasn't already paid for they could sign me up. I'm not a big tree hugger but this has to be better for the world than wasting real estate for years and years or burning natural gas for three hours to dispose of your carcass.
Thoughts?
There is time, and you must take it, to lay your hand on your dog's head as you walk past him lying on the floor or on his settle, time to talk with him, to remember with him, time to please him, time you can't buy back once he's gone" GBE

I wouldn't have a problem with it. I had to have a horse put down several years ago and that’s how the vet disposed of the body
In the end, it's not the years in your life that count, it's the life in your years.

Ashes to ashes, dust to dust. Yep. Why anyone cares what is done with their body when they die is beyond me. If it can be put to use, go for it.

I'll be content to die while running my trap line and the animals consume me. Giving back what I've taken.

I've killed and eaten quite a few. Now it's your turn. Have at it.  I do not want a spot in a cemetery that costs money, that my Kids & Grandkids are going to cry over forever. Nope.
