my take ...liked the concept of a green disposal. <br /><br />my take though is i dont give a damn what who so ever gets stuck with my corpse. my own advice is to treat it with the same way i would - as a decomposing health hazard that should be quickly converted into a less noxious/toxic/infectious substrate. <br /><br />when a few friends/family have pursued and insisted but what if u had the option - i've said get my ashes and use them to fertilize a ganja plant. gtAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6944919.post-20994133459205085582010-02-18T10:25:41.442-05:002010-02-18T10:25:41.442-05:00There's some such saying as "The meaning ...There's some such saying as "The meaning of life is in the leaving of it". I whole-heartedly agree. I hope I will go in to death, calmly, quietly and with peace of mind. (Some hope that is!

We can leave wills and instructions of course, but we rarely have any ultimate control. I would prefer a form of disposal that would cause the people directly connected to or affected by my death to be put to as little discomfort and expense as possible and I would certainly NOT want to be a source of yet more pollution! It's very annoying to know that there's not all that much I can do about this problem. *snarl*Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06527703558961054608noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6944919.post-17798460491870563612010-02-17T11:14:25.965-05:002010-02-17T11:14:25.965-05:00I think JRD set the right example.

Wrote in his will that he should be burried in whichever city he was in at the time of his death.And was buried at at the Père Lachaise Cemetery in Paris.<br /><br />A much better, nobler, truer example than insisting that your body should be cremated and the ashes sprinkled from an aircraft over various rivers, plateaus and farmlands.
