    Although it’s changing we are not allowed to “go back to the soil”. We are sequestered in boxes that contain our eternal goo so we don’t despoil the soil.

    Wait — we don’t get turned into Soylent Green? I am disillusioned!

    As for me, I’m leaning towards cremation. The idea of burial just doesn’t appeal to me. My wife wants to be buried, so I guess we won’t have any of that “being with each other for eternity” business (never really understood the concept, since we’d be in separate boxes anyway, and I don’t think there are access doors for conjugal visits). But none of it ultimately matters. The only thing that matters is what we do in this one life we’re given.
