I have often thought I'd like to be cremated (nowastefull burial please) and my ashes placed in the planting hole of a long lived tree in a special place. As a gardener who likes to recycle and compost garden waste, this would be the ultimate form of recycling and would directly benefit the natural environment. Plus a tree would make a fitting memorial.

Hopefully this wont be for at least another 50 or 60 years, as at 28 i dont plan on popping off just yet!  I just hope planning 'post mortem' arrangements so early doesnt tempt fate :o

Add mine too Richard. We were at my mother-in-law's funeral yesterday. Traditional, but crem. She was a no-nonsense lady with a fabulous smile and I will miss her hugely CLx

Richard ,
Echo all those thoughts!

Ace mate, I'm with you, not literally you understand as I'm a d**n lot older.
But if I can be 'a puff of blue smoke' on the I.O.W., howsabout tipping me over the clif to make a 'whiter shade of pale' to add to the sand colour scheme?
You can add yours when you're ready?
