as someone form the British isles, i have inherently understood that my eyes belong to the crows. thanks for including our ancient traditional sky burial in the poll.
I don’t know if “burial at sea” is included within the burial poll option but that’s something I’ve been considering. It’s surprisingly legal. You can do it without a casket and with just a shroud. Add weights so you go down nicely and it’s done.
My husband and I wanted to be root balls together, it was something verified when he proposed. Seeing as he died first and suddenly and root ball wasn't an option after the autopsy when he was at the mortuary, I went with cremation. This was the most affordable option, of two options. As we didn't have our own land at the time to bury him on, much less the proper climate to assure success with any tree that he may be planted with. There's a great deal of restrictions of the that come with natural burials. Turns out these hip burial methods are not common choice amongst your standard mortuary. Most of his body is scattered in a wild place of ours after keeping him in our home for a year. A small portion remains in our house. And though cremation is not the most nourishing way to give back to the earth, it's what I choose for myself so that I may return with him in a similar form when the time comes. Thank you musing on this topic- I look forward to reading the upcoming essay. 🙏

Sky burial, then bury whatever remians of the bones back in the earth.
