| I think the biggest thing is in how the survivors get to mourn. Grief is such a hard thing, and how the body of the deceased is handled can make the emotional closure more difficult or less difficult for the person grieving. Of course, folks are different in how they grieve and in their emotional constitution. |

| That is a good point, that is for sure. Consider especially the 'immediate' family. Yes that should be considered.In my case, I don't see a problem, 'cept the wife. But that also ain't no problem, cause she says if I go first, I will be buried in my sailor suit! Some facts but mostly just my [email protected]/ |

| My uncle passed away a few months ago. During the funeral, I spoke with a man from the funeral home about funeral options these days. He said there are cemetaries doing 'green' funerals. I think they use a coffin for the ceremony, but actually bury the body wrapped in a cloth, and it's a lot cheaper. I thought I'd mention that in case anyone were interested |

| Nah, we are biodegrade. Like road kill we just return to the earth. the vaults slow it down by a few hundred years, but we still go.I think some 'grave yards' (cemetery) might have some strict rules, and I think that is mainly to keep the 'sunken' spaces from showing up and disturbing the aesthetics of the peaceful resting place. LOLThat is just a guess. I know in visiting my family's burial grounds in Georgia, many of the graves were sunken in after the casket or wooden vault collapsed. On burial at sea, there are requirements, so many miles from shore, weights and bags to ensure seaman Jones don't wash up on shore after a hurricane.

| My father says his folks were known to jokingly describe most any small depression in the ground as that's where the coffin rotted. |
