Congrats, Hec!
Don't some people say that cremation isn't all that environmentally sound?
A former roommate of mine worked on a study assessing the emissions from crematoriums and their effect on the environment. Sadly, I don't remember the results. But there are people looking at it!
I'm not sure how to reply to him.
Dear sir, I regret to inform you that your submissions do not meet our editorial standards.

Hey, nutbag, if you think your daughter is sexy I DON'T WANT TO KNOW ABOUT IT.
Could go either way.
I wonder if I could start a business making cardboard/papier mache coffins that look exactly like the real thing. (With, like a glued-together frame of wood, so there's no metal.) With a couple nice coats of shellac they'd be all shiny and curvy and sleek which would satisfy the traditional-minded relatives but be quite biodegradeable, plus the materials and skilled labor would be cheaper than the regular coffin costs....
no way spending more on a casket than I have on furniture. Hopefully no casket at all.

Ooh, they'd look kind of like sarcophagi!
Heh. That could be one of the specialty lines we hand-craft.
It's actually quite a shame that I don't know about business plans and stuff like that. Or really, all that much about papier mache production for LARGE items. I know in the past (1800s) there have been papier mache furniture (not much of which survives) so it doesn't have to be flimsy....
Today is going to be better than the rest of the week was, right?
Reply fuzzy, ask again later.
