Somewhere, beyond the sea, somewhere waiting for me , is...apparently an eco-reef. link There is a company now doing eco-burials. They will take your corpse, make you into a reef that the family can decorate, lower you into the ocean and within months, you're part of the sea. Now, they don't describe exactly how they do it, but you have to admit it is an interesting concept. I've never understood why we put people in boxes and stick them in the ground to rot..slowly. Graveyards, complete waste of resources. Little quote: Along with its dead, the United States buries 1.6 million tons of reinforced concrete, 827,060 tons of toxic embalming fluid, 90,000 tons of steel (from caskets), and 30 million tons of hardwood board each year, according to the Green Burial Council, an independent nonprofit organization based in Santa Fe, New Mexico.
