    I want my nutrients returned to the earth.

    That means that green burial, human composting, burial at sea, and aquamation are all options.

    I absolutely do not want cremation. It’s an energy intensive process that also renders the deceased’s accumulated nutrients unavailable to other organisms.

    This thread also reminds me that I need to revoke the organ donor status from my driver’s license. As much as I like / appreciate the concept, a viable organ donation requires dying in a hospital. I would prefer to pass outdoors in a natural setting that I feel connected to or, at worst, in my own home.
