    One of the improvements I would make to the world if I could magic it that way would be to have all dead bodies disposed of in the same sustainable manner. Crematoriums are such a waste of energy and cemeteries are a waste of land (plus, embalming fluid leeches into the soil). There are greener solutions, but religious and social customs prevent most people from wanting their bodies disposed of that way. And that’s a real shame.

      I’d like my remains to be scattered in some of my favourite places.

      Don’t want to be cremated though.

        Got a beautiful image in my head of someone standing forlornly on a cliff, looking out to sea, and then just hucking a fuckin’ hand off.

    Sounds like it would have been a win for the other body, sad to have no known fam. I wonder if they were to be cremated anyways?

      I wouldn’t say that anything happening or not happening would be a win for a dead body. They are already done with all of that.
