I have often said I have no desire to be buried after I die. I believe that eventually the Earth will fill up with human remains if people continue with the custom of burial. Further, who takes care of the cemeteries long after relatives have passed on? After Hurricane Katrina, New Orleans had challenges with caring for tombs and graves. I have gone with cremation as the best option. However, I'm wondering what the greenest option is for disposal of human remains. Even with donating the body to science, there will eventually be a need to dispose of the body. Thus, has anyone done research about the greenest option for moving from this plane to the next?
