Sustainable till death do us part, and 45 days beyond...

For those seeking to live in the most sustainable way, there now is an afterlife too.

A Dutch intrepid inventor is now “growing” coffins by putting mycelium, the root structure of mushrooms, together with hemp fiber in a special mold that, in a week, turns into what could basically be compared to the looks of an unpainted Egyptian sarcophagus.

And while traditional wooden coffins come from trees that can take decades to grow and years to break down in the soil, the mushroom versions biodegrades and delivers the remains to nature in barely a month and a half. In our 21st century, when the individual spirit can increasingly thrive way beyond the strictures of yore, death and funerals are all so often still hemmed in by tradition that may fall far short of the vision of the deceased or their loved ones.

I have already made arrangements with a taxidermist to process my remains when I am gone.

This is how I want me placed in the middle of the Rotunda of the Medina County Courthouse - forever...

If I were planning on remaining whole, this would be the way to go for me. Since a quick cremation and a sharing of my ashes is the plan, my family will be saving the expense.

Though I may give your 'Courthouse Rotunda' idea some thought for Plan B.....

My wife is somewhat against my desire to be stuffed and mounted and kept in the living room. She says that would freak out her new boyfriend big time!

When my sister gave birth to a stillborn son, she and her husband had him cremated and buried his ashes at the base of a tree they planted on a mountainside.

My cousin who recently passed away, was cremated and her ashes buried in a hole, and a tree is planted over her. She's on the property where they lived for the last 10 years or so.
