Green burial vs traditional burial

[scaredmom330]

I read about this and found it curious .... So guys what do you think, this new green burial, the traditional burial or cremation:

Though burials come in many shades, the greenest involve cemeteries that look less like golf courses and more like nature preserves, caskets made of cardboard and bodies that aren't juiced up with embalming fluids -- all at a fraction of the cost of a traditional burial.

Some green cemeteries could reforest their grounds to the point that grave sites could be identifiable only by their GPS coordinates.

I have to be cremated, sorry, can't be buried in the ground no way, no how...

I'll go green or cremation. Probably cremation. I don't want to end up some rotting flesh eating Zombie, wandering the streets of NYC!

There'll be just to much competition between all us zombies for that sweet human flesh.

The minute I take my last breath, I know that I will be in Heaven with God.  I would rather my family save the money for a burial and help make the lives of my children and grandchildren better in some way.  

I do have to admit, I like going to the cemetary and looking at the headstone with my daddy's name on it and talking to him.  Even though I know that I can talk to him wherever I am, it is comforting in some way.  Maybe people who are buired in a "green cemetary" could plant a tree or something near the burial spot.  I think it would be nice to go and sit down beside a tree and talk to our loved ones.

You took the words right out of my mouth, I mean, what's the point in putting me in a casket that costs $10,000 and dressing me up in designer clothes when in life I drive a 20 year-old car and wear my hubby's clothes half the time...LOL...just give me the $$$ while I'm still here!!!
