http://www.newsweek.com/id/144482/>1=43002 A Serious Undertaking A small, but growing, group of activists seeks to reform the funeral industry. Dead simple: a biodegradable pine casket Home funerals and "Green" caskets. Dang, I wish I had thought of this! I bet they charge more since they are "green" and biodegradable. I have a big yard and some lime, could I open my own Home funeral business? Maybe send somebody off with a weenie roast in my burn pit? Joking aside. Glad something is being done about Big Funeral Businesses. I could not imagine somebody telling me my loved one's body was not MY property and I had to pay $1200 - $4000 to take custody of it.
