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?
Cacophony. That's pretty. What's it mean?

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

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.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Is lime an ecologically good thing to be burying?

I got cited in the New York Times!
That's cool, Hec.

If you've got acid soil.

I have mom's ashes in a box and have no clue what to do with them. Before she passed she had talked about being sprinkled in our garden. But we have moved and don't have our own garden any more. Plus SHE was the one with a green thumb. Me - I'm luck to keep a silk plant alive.

I'm sayin'.

I think so. I had a brief moment of thinking, "I wish I had the kind of parents that would think it was cool that I got cited in the New York Times." Which was, unfortunately, followed by the thought, "I wish had parents."
Oh well, select Buffistas think it's cool.

I think it's freakin' awesome! I was distracted by candy pronunciation and baseball, so I neglected to post that thought, though.
