That's probably tied into Cuomo's sending infected covid patients into all the nursing homes to initiate mass homicide of the most vulnerable of the population. Gotta kickstart it somehow.

What do you think happens when you get put in the ground in a casket? That shit eventually rots and you're worm food anyway.
A friend of ours died young from an aggressive form of cancer. She wanted to be cremated and spread under the roots of a newly-planted tree so her kids and husband could visit. Not a bad way to leave a legacy. |

Like bringing viruses and stuff into the water supply. I have done zero research on the matter, nor pondered it for more than 2 seconds.

Happens with dead animals out in the wild literally all the time, even right now as you’re reading this. I don’t think there’s anything odd about wanting to be buried and allowed to rot.

This law puts composting facilities under the same regs as funeral homes with regards to handling dead bodies. Composting is a process of accelerating human remains into soil in a container. At that point I guess the remains are safe. |

I don't find the idea morally offensive or anything but not only am I very distrustful of government to begin with, I'm also raising an eyebrow at discarding thousands of years of human tradition. Tradition which I have to assume is born out of harsh lessons. |

I forget who said it but there was a conservative 1950s philosopher from the old right (anti war unless necessary, fiscal responsibility, etc) who said (paraphrasing):
You should be very careful before you tear down a fence, and you should fully understand why it was built there beforehand. |

"Ashes to ashes, dust to dust"
It has long seemed weird to me that people are hermetically sealed in containers after being chemically mummified, given the dominance of Christianity in our culture. Personally, I always wanted to be buried like a Mongol king with my corpse placed on a high plateau to be ripped apart by carrion birds as a passage to the Sky God. The forensic body farms seem like the most natural burial method. :) |

Used to be called green burials. There's a few cemeteries that accept pine box style caskets and nonembalmed corpses.
I'd prefer that. Dissapear into the soil and made into crude oil. |

I dunno. Don't really care.
Funerals are for the living. Once I'm gone, it's basically up to my family and friends. Do with me what you will - whatever helps the grieving process. Or science. Or the earth. Or whatever the hell you people collectively feel is the best use of what's left of me. Won't really matter to me anymore. |

We are the only rational animal Once deceased, the meaningful distinctions from the remainder of the animal kingdom is gone. One could rationally assume since we are different in life we are different in death. Much like a plant isn't a dog, and a dog isn't a person. But to your point I'm not really sure how that affects burial. I mean having a rational soul versus a plant soul isn't defined by how you're buried. I don't know. Just kinda naturally skeptical of this, for no good reason. |

Im good with decomposition in a wooden box, in a cemetery. I want family to have a place to go that I'am physically at. I think it's the most natural thing. It also respects that the body we're in now, is the body that will be raised up/renewed in the Resurrection; so I think leaving the body as-is respects that. Embalming and elaborate tombing procedures all seem like a gargantuan waste. I suppose for the sake of future historians it's got some merit, but it's weird how embalming becoming THE common practice.
I think cremation is kinda creepy and perhaps disrespectful to the body. Even though the soul has passed, the body was still that of the person/animal you cared for, so to just incinerate what was so precious, idk, I don't care for it. One of our pets was buried, and I think of it as still being there. But another one, a family pet, was cremated. The ashes were buried, but it's the tiny lock of hair that is all that's really left. Ashes just don't mean the same thing. |

Metal coffins were until the last century were reserved for royalty due to the cost. Go through history and you find some kings, queens etc buried in cast bronze, copper or lead lined boxes, but until recently it was too expensive to do that for most people. You got wrapped in a blanket or sheet, maybe a wooden casket if you were well off in an established area and buried as you died, no embalming done. Todays "sanitary" regulations are rooted in science a little, but a concrete enclosure holding a metal coffin with a totally embalmed body inside that is going to last for eons just as it is; is more than a little overkill.
