I understand that there's still a very big stigma about death and gravesites, but for me it all seems a little backwards and I can't wait until people care less about what happens to their useless husks after they die. We're running out of place for living breathing people, and yet we still use large patches of land for dead ones.
Just burn me up, or chuck me into the forest for food and fertilizer when I die, I don't mind. You want to honor me? Raise a glass to me with friends when the mood strikes, don't come to where my corpse is and get all weepy.
Better yet, you wanna honor people? Treat them better when they are alive!
