I have a series of running jokes with younger friends of mine about what they'll put on my headstone when I'm gone (usually some variation of "Nice guy. Not too bright."), but I haven't talked much about the disposition of my human remains. I suppose I'd like to be cremated but not necessarily dispersed or strewn about. Being shot into space doesn't interest me, personally.
So interesting! I had decided that I’d like my remains to go into the ball root of a tree. I can’t imagine my ancestors being as interested in cemeteries as I am, and I’d like to nourish something after my death. That being said, I’ll give my husband the option of a space disbursement. He was liking the idea of returning to the ocean, but didn’t want to pollute.
Interesting! I think scattered, why take up space when you can be somewhere you would want to in life?

Thanks for sharing. I like the idea of tree root burial.
