It seems like they are still in the building process of this buisness, but I very much like this idea.

i asked a funeral director about this a few years ago, they said that it's bad for teh water table... because our body would contaminate, rain water goes down, drains, and . . . etc etc. ..
and goes back into the water. but then again, when they drain our blood and stuff, it all goes down the sink anywas. . .

but i've been interested in htis since higshcool. telling you i've been planning my funeral, it's a glorious event. . . angela. you better get me dancers!!!

"My winner of this week’s Greendumb award is the green funeral movement.

Folks, you might as well bury yourself wrapped in a big white flag. When I die, I don’t just want my body pumped full of formaldehyde, I want it engorged with mercury. With a coal-fired engine rotating my lead casket to keep the worms off. No free rides, worms. Now forget about planting flowers on my grave - ain’t nothing gonna grow there." - stephen Colbert

Point is that the existing chemicals are already screwing over the environment. Not to mention with the rest of what we're doing to the planet this pales in comparison.
