Rest in [green] peace
People are quite obsessed with having a good funeral, and with good I mean it should look good. Doesn’t it make more sense to spend your money while you are still alive and kicking? Who cares whether you get buried in a beautiful, polished Mahogany or Oak coffin? Go green, I say – get buried in a cardboard box. This way your friends can all write messages on your coffin – how cool would that be? If the thought of a cardboard box is just too much for your faint heart, at least go with pine. It’s cheaper and have less impact on the world you are leaving behind.
I agree. Especially if you have decided to be cremated. Rather burn a cardboard box than an expensive Mahogany coffin. What a waste! Less ashes too, which will fit into a smaller urn… cardboard urn, anyone? Nah, I say just scatter the ashes on top of a mountain or in the sea.
Ok with me, just one request, put a nice ribbon around the box? And scatter my ashes in front (or rather inside) of KFC.
I like this. Although, I had a brief discussion with my dad about this, and he was not impressed with me at all. It is not a warm and fuzzy thought/feeling, yes sure.
I want a retro art deco box ok! Multi-coloured, bright warm colours, busy, and make it a funky one while you are at it, I want to leave in a personalised, art deco fucky way!And take pictures and put it on facebook for incase I get somewhere with wireless access!!
