Being closer to grave than cradle - one creates interest to many things that most young peolple do not find so important. And very well so - they still have most of their lives before them - unlike we old farts, who are nearing the unavoidable. The lady who draw my avatar @ 1975 - Tove Jansson - once said in an inteview - "I'm looking forward to death with interest." - my translation might be not quite right - but I recall she was more curious about it than afraid.
Anyway - since we all are going to go someday - what about funeral alternatives?
Reading this article - I learned new things - like that in US the graves are lined w concrete or metal - is that really so? Over here they are just earth, so the coffin or urn will molder and become earth.
After all this long jargon - happy reading for those who do.
Oh - and how I found this article - Desmond Tutu was done this way - his wish.
