Biodegradable coffins are part of a larger trend toward "natural" burials, which require no formaldehyde embalming, cement vaults, chemical lawn treatments or laminated caskets. Advocates say such burials are less damaging to the environment.

  • The burial process has always been mind boggling to me. I want to be chucked in the dirt so that my body will nourish the earth and plant a tree as my headstone.

  • I have told all my relatives and friends that they can have the church ceremony and official burial with an ordinary coffin filled with wet sand (to make the weight), but that my body should be secretly stitched up in a cheap jute bag and surreptitiously buried on some hill-top and an oak-tree planted above it, so that my grand-children, great-grand-children etc., can climb up it, have a swing hanging from it, build a tree-house in it, and generally enjoy its shade. :)

  • I want my gravestone to be a wind turbine. Put my standing memorial to some good use.

  • the best part is I could be cremated...and have my urn sit inside the cooler with the beers! OR I can have my ashes sprinkled and mixed with the cooler run off. NICE!
