What would you do? Personally,I find the idea of someone messing with my body,pumping it with chemicals and being put in a box wasteful,complicated and expensive for any mourners I may have. I used to want to be cremated but being fried into dust and leaving someone else to figure out what to do with my ashes a burden,too. I want things to be as simple as possible. The fact I could help people after I am gone and feed the earth seems wonderful to me. I like the idea of contributing to the world I lived in.

I like to contribute too, but I'm not going to be harvested.

Honestly, I want to be interred. I don't want a viewing, so I don't really want to be preserved, lol.

Doesn't sound much different than what I want.

Except the harvesting part, and the fact that I'm going into concrete. ;P

What creeps you out about harvesting? Someone else getting parts of you?

well i think if some one cannot do this . at least we can pray for all and share some good words and respect and sharing some one hard and bad days.. can be a way of paying back .. too .. and i think every one can do it .. at least it cost nothing...

but really a brave and rare kind of thinking..


Regards
