It is interesting to read the article posted regarding the state of Washington legalizing human composting. This method of dealing with human bodies after death supports sustainability, the conservation of land which would have been used as graveyards and the reduction of carbon gases however there might be some religious and ethical considerations to be worked out. Although there would not be a permanent grave site or a cremation urn as a memorial for the family, the composted body provides up to two wheelbarrows of dirt which could then be used to create a flower or rock garden which would still be a memorial. Other countries are starting to accept natural burials and composting and even the actor Luke Perry, who recently passed away, was buried in a mushroom suit which supposedly reduces toxins.
