    Well in life I have fun which yes is ultimately pointless, but in death do I really need anything (including the body I used).

    As I say I really can't see the point.

    Well I think the mount of energy used to burn a body is fairly high, also it gets rid of all the nice stuff going back in the the soil.

    Are you up for shredding?

    PS I don't think graves are for the dead, they are a reminder to the living.

    although burial may use land it is ecologically a good idea.

    Shredding sounds fine, I won't feel it will I.

    Failing that just drop me in the sea or with the lions and let me get eaten.

    The end of the day I won't need my body when dead so use it for whatever it is most usefully for at the time.

    I quite like tigers actually, maybe 50/50 to the lions and tigers.

    Nobody ever has, it's never stopped burial though.

    I'm still waiting for geneer (or someone) to come on here and bleat about how it's better to rent a burial plot rather than buy one. Or indeed how many plot owners are already in negative equity....

    Bury people standing up. A bit like converting a property into bedsits, you'd fit far more people into the space available.

    Or bury people on top of each other. Save on gravestones: here lies X on top of Y, in death as in life.
