Seeking advice:
Today, Aviva Rahmani wrote a message lamenting the difficulty of living according to environmental strictures. In it She said, "To be
perfect, we need to die”.
It seems to me
this is only true if we manage the disposition of our dead bodies.
Pumping the corpse with embalming chemicals, burning it
with fossil fuels, enclosing it in hardwood caskets, sealing it in burial
vaults, contributing the toxic chemicals we have ingested over our lifetimes,
depositing hip replacements and breast enlargements and tooth amalgams and other
non-biodegradable prostheses do not constitute perfection in death. But what
does?
I’m actively searching for a
responsible approach to death
but....
– ‘green’ cemeteries are far
from where I live and where I will probably die
-
Backyard burials do not appear
on the official regulations
Thoughts?
