How many of you are wanting or planning to have a green or natural burial when you die? Anyone choosing another method other than cremation?
I can't finish the latest expedition!! I've definitely found them in game before, but for some reason now I'm stuck. I've read they have the same symbol on the scanner as buried technology modules? I've been to SO many planets and solar systems and just can't find any. I use the analysis visor but it always says the distance is too far...
Edit: OK - how can I get to the starter planet? I didn't put down a base computer
Natural Burial methodology is starting in the United States. I wonder how INC members would accept this method.
Premise:
You have died and are put in a container that is twice as big as a coffin and stuffed with leaves, twigs and other natural elements to decompose your body. This whole process returns you to "dust"/dirt in about 6 months and completely beneficial to ecology.
Before coffins were invented in the 15th century, most people were just buried in the ground without any container around them. This process is very similar and the body is put in this biodegradable container that will also wither away in a few years with your body in it!
This method seems like the best approach when thinking about the Bible. What do you think?

P.S.
I think this might offend INC members for they want their bones to still be intact for at least 500 years! What do you think INC ministers would think about this "natural" process!
I would pick natural burial. I’m a huge advocate for giving back to the earth. A regular burial costs a lot of money. On top of using harmful chemicals that are bad for the earth.
I think her YouTube channel is interesting enough. I’ve read a couple of her books. I think she has brought conversations about death care out of the closet some and made them a little less taboo. I have no problem with green and natural burial alternatives and my funeral home accommodates those clients as well. But whether or not her intention has been to paint the embalmers peddling their caskets as wicked and unnecessary or to educate the world about natural burial, I feel like that has largely been the outcome. Real world conversations and reading reddit threads with the non-industry commentary from her following can make my blood boil.
Personally, I don’t think you would succeed in this industry unless you were passionate about the work and the individuals brought into your care - both deceased and the grieving. We see hard cases. We work hard hours. We miss family functions and holidays. I can’t imagine most choose this line of work because of the thrill of taking advantage of the grieving. Sure there are bad eggs, but that is the case in all industries.
Anyone else beating their head against the wall over this?
Any recommendations are appreciated. Thank you
I recently got my will done by the Public Trustee. I opted for burial out of the two-choice option, but was informed that I can't get a natural burial without prior organisation and payment, despite neither nearby burial site requiring pre-payment. I feel strongly about natural burial and I'm concerned that the Public Trustee would give me a traditional burial. I couldn't add any detail to my body disposal request. Is there a way to ensure my wishes are respected? Would it be better that I void my will and risk dying intestate?
I live in Colorado and want a natural burial. I'm creating an estate/will/medical power of attorney. Im still young but I want my ducks in a row. It seems I need private land and permission from the county coroner. Does this sound right? It seems like its the most difficult way to set up my Declaration of disposition. I have to purchase purchase land, which is ok. I want to purchase land in the next 2 years as I would like to be buried on the same land as my dog and she's 8 year old boxer. Is there anything I can do to make this as easy as possible or expedite the process. I just want to put purchase land for "conservation", "preservation" purposes, and make sure the county coroner is ok with my being buried on the land. Any tips on making this as simple as possible? I can get cheap land in southern CO for cheap, in beautiful country. I can get 5 acres for relatively cheap,but i really only need a small parcel of land, so even less land is fine. Any suggestions? I strongly believe in being recycled into the ecological cycle, as with my dog. I dont want to have my family have to deal with this, so I want it all in writing via a an estate planner/attorney. Thanks!
