I hope this is'nt too morbid

I can't get the link to work, but I think once I've gone I'd like to donate everything that can be used, and then put in a cardboard box!

 

In this area they are thinking of trailing a freeze method of 'disposal' where liquid nitrogen is used and then remains shaken and turned to dust and the whole process is emission free :D

When my father in law died in January, we investigated a wicker coffin. It was £2,500!

He would have hated that waste of money "just to be burnt" as he would have said, so we went for a cheap wooden one. The cardboard was more expensive! How ridiculous it that?

When my time is up I have told my family I would like a cardboard coffin. They can either cremate me and put my ashes on a compost heap or bury and plant a tree on top. If they really feel the need for flowers then a small bunch of Friesias or Sweet Peas will be plenty. They can recycle bits of me as well :D

 

I like the look of the eco pods and the acorn urn :D

Yes...i always thought i'd be cremated but the funeral industry has come under alot of pressure lately because of carbon monoxide and mercury emissons so need to come up with better enviromental ways.

 

So a cardboard box back in the newforest for me i think...or maybe a snazzy gold pod

:wink:

I love the acron urn :D . It's beautiful but I'd already decided that I was going for a cardboard coffin at a local green burial site so I can have trees and wildflowers all around me.

 

Hubby and I have decided that cremation is definitely not right these days and we have already reserved our plots at http://www.greenhavenwoodland.com/ a woodland burial ground near Rugby that will be a nature sanctury in perpetuity. For a list of sites round the country see http://www.igreens.org.uk/woodland_burial_sites_uk.htm.

Wow - look what I just found! Thanks for the link Merryn.

Sunrising Hill and the area around is very close to us in distance and is also a very special area for Carl and me.

 

look here

 

They are having an open day - on 20th August :roll: Perhaps my sister would like a trip there for her birthday instead of the party? :?
