I lost 3 family members this year. Went cremation each time and only a cardboard box for the ashes. Still 1.5k each

I don't get why people aren't buried in a way that allows their body to naturally decompose. That allows the body to return to nature.

Pumping bodies full of preservatives and burying them doesn't make much sense.

And per Neil deGrasse Tyson: "Cremation releases your body's energy as heat into the atmosphere, eventually radiating it out to space."

Some people are. There's a thing called green burials. The body isn't preserved, just put in a shroud kinda thing that helps decomposition I think, and buried like that.

There's also companies that will take your cremated ashes and put them into a planter with a sapling, so you can plant it and grow a tree. Or if you wanna get really weird I've seen ones that turn your ashes into a vinyl record haha.

I mean, I don't give a shit. If I was dead you could bang me all you want. I mean, who cares? A dead body is like a piece of trash. I mean, shove as much shit in there as you want. Fill me up with cream, make a stew out of my ass. What's the big deal? Bang me, eat me, grind me up into little pieces, throw me in the river. Who gives a shit? You're dead, you're dead!

Can you provide your own cardboard box? Get all the family to write heartfelt messages on it, or draw pictures.
