1. I can't believe there are no US companies doing this...

All my search results were in the UK! I was shocked!

What excellent business for someone who has the ability to start one. There would be a huge market plus they are much much cheaper!

2. And given the situation

a growth industry.

5. Have you seen the graveyards that...

Have no tombstones and are just wild grassy fields? I saw a news clip of one and I thought it was a wonderful idea! The one they were doing the piece on was a wild grassy field about knee high on the side of a hill with a wonderful view out in the country. It just seemed more peaceful and less religious & creepy like most graveyards. However, I honestly could care less about where they dump me because dead is dead...Funerals & graveyards are for the living...Too many go broke trying to buy the nicest caskets and grave plots. SAD!

I have told my wife if I go before her donate my entire body to science or whatever is the cheapest possible method. Take the money you saved and go on vacation or do some depression shopping whatever just don't fall for the scam of fancy caskets and crap.

I will try to find a link if possible and post it.

9. Please do

I'll be cremated and my ashes will be scattered.

3. Just take whatever parts of my body can still help the living...

...and toss the rest into a compost heap, cremate it, or feed it to cats for all I care. I'm completely unsentimental about what happens to my body after I die. I certainly don't want people wasting lots of money turning my dead meat into a toxic monument.

8. Same here - harvest me for parts, cremate or compost the leftovers.

7. I won't need a box.

Cremate me and scatter me from the top of a mountain, or bury my ashes beneath a tree, or plant a tree over them.
