where can you get a casket like that?

As long as I can go into it un-embalmed and without a vault, I’m all for it.

Are worms included ???

Caskets, the product of ‘Lawn Doctor’ Funeral Services, Inc.

the worms crawl inthe worms crawl outin your stomach and out your mouth…..

The worms crawl inThe worms crawl outThe worms play pinochle on your snout

Why do I have this insatiable desire to go fishing….

Its true! They make bio-caskets: ecoffins.com

There are also biodegradable urns with a seed in them, so that the remains will turn into a tree : http://bigthink.com/design-for-good/this-awesome-urn-will-turn-you-into-a-tree-after-you-die

@ Creniere I have the same feeling.Drown a few worms and down a few cold ones.

A true son of the the “Old Sod”.

the “sot” inside will allow the worms to get 100% environmentally drunk.

They have made “biodegradable coffins” for years, nothing new. It’s are called “pine box”.

in some areas there are provisions now for “natural” burial wherein no buffer is utilized between the body and the soil. tibetans also have a pretty(?) cool one. they take the subject to the mountaintop, carve it into small chunks and toss it to the birds. known as funeral in the sky. me likey.

humorage!

sad but so true, we all must go down that lonesome road,

just get cremated then you will not take up land space with a grave site and you can get used to the heat at the same time

That is some sorry sod.

Best to be cremated & have your ashes scattered so it can returned to the soil.

I guess he’ll fit right in.
