Excellent. I've always hated the idea of spending "perpetuity" riddled with poison and encased in concrete. I've also never been too wild about cremation. I want my body to rot in the ground after any useful organs have been harvested. Good ol' worms, aerating our soil; they deserve a nice big treat every now and then.
