Keeping a lid on your carbon footprint doesnโ€™t stop with your last breath. Your choice of funeral can have a significant environmental impact. In a recent report by the US-based National Funeral Directors Association, 60.5% of those surveyed expressed their interest in greener options including resomation (water cremation) human composting and natural burials.

I debated for a while on if I should post this or not (rather morbid, I know) but I think it's an important thing to think about.

I personally had always wanted water cremation but for some reason people don't seem to keen on the idea.

Anything is better than fire cremation. The article says it takes more energy than driving five hundred miles.
