But if I were to be buried, I'd want the cheapest possible casket. Like fiberboard, or cardboard even.
Roll me up in nutrient rich sod and throw me in a hole. The sooner I'm back to the earth, the sooner I can make tomatoes.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Exactly.

Have you looked into getting it re-enameled? Maybe they can do purple?
Well, eventually. Since I can barely find tile that matches at rehab stores.... I'm not hopeful I'd find the color commercially.
Sophia, that's an idea.

Don't some people say that cremation isn't all that environmentally sound? (I've heard of freeze-drying as being more environmentally friendly.) Can human corpses be composted?

You know criminals will bury you with lime. That takes care of business.
Personal Life Changing Epiphany: I was working on a construction job installing Jacuzzis, and the day laborer we'd hired noted (when we estimated the time to dig the hole): "Shit, only takes two hours to dig a hole to bury a man.

Why doesn't Rubbermaid make caskets?
I've been involved in the conversations that ended up with the purchase of a $2,000 casket. Casket purchaser: "Don't you think he'd like this wood?" Me: It's nice wood. Have you looked at the caskets in the back?" Me (In my head): "He's dead. He doesn't care. I'd be fine with a dumpster. Also, why would you want to bury that pretty walnut?"
I have made the environmentally sound decision to have my body mocked by medical students.

Is lime an ecologically good thing to be burying?
