    As long as I can go into it un-embalmed and without a vault, I’m all for it.

    Pile the bodies high at Austerlitz and Waterloo.
    Shovel them under and let me work -

    I am the grass; I cover all.
    And pile them high at Gettysburg
    And pile them high at Ypres and Verdun.
    Shovel them under and let me work.
    Two years, ten years, and passengers ask the conductor:

    What place is this?
    Where are we now?
    I am the grass.
    Let me work.

    the worms crawl in
    the worms crawl out
    in your stomach
    and out your mouth…..

    The worms crawl in
    The worms crawl out
    The worms play pinochle on your snout

    Its true! They make bio-caskets: ecoffins.com

    There are also biodegradable urns with a seed in them, so that the remains will turn into a tree :

    the “sot” inside will allow the worms to get 100% environmentally drunk.
