I heard that they are opening a green cemetary in Michigan, no caskets, no markers, and I am working up the mood to ask my kids if that would freak them out. I think it would be comforting to think of a loved one becoming part of the earth.gpchttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18054854655973836794noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1542806651392353413.post-53026565393126940622010-10-29T19:28:36.160-07:002010-10-29T19:28:36.160-07:00Great post about things we don't usually want ...Great post about things we don't usually want to think about!Panamamamahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05059282003527452424noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1542806651392353413.post-21774779676926305982010-10-29T10:54:42.797-07:002010-10-29T10:54:42.797-07:00I think I'd like to have a sky burial like the...I think I'd like to have a sky burial like the Tibetans do.
