This is the best disposal of a human body I have ever seen.

"If some nonprofit needed a T-shirt design, Ed would always draw it. So we wrapped him up..."
"... in a quilt that a friend made of old T-shirts with Ed's drawings on them and gave him a green burial."

…yah, provided the guy wasn’t full of zoloft or something. You don't want that stuff leeching into the water table…
Provided the batting of the quilt wasn't polyester.
Green burial seems to be legal all over the place: https://returnhome.com/what-states-allow-green-burial-or-natural-burial/
Cremation is the only way I'll ever have a smoking hot body again.
Hunter S. Thompson was cremated and his ashed fired from a howitzer, spreading him across his beloved home in Colorado. So I'd give this ceremony a 2nd best at most.

Ann, you might be interested in Bernd Heinrich's Life Everlasting: The Animal Way of Death. Heinrich was a well-grounded not touchy-feely naturalist and a fine writer. His last chapter is about the animal biologists call Homo sapiens, and touches on green burial.

We didn't get to see it, but this is the best disposal ever.
Most wives complain about their husbands being too wrapped-up in their work.

The Rose Garden ...
the cab driver taking Mr. Vinton to his destination is surprised to see he has business with Miss Julia Pickering and not her sister, Miss Cordelia. Miss Cordelia, aka Mrs. Welles, has her sister under her thumb. He's even more surprised to find that Miss Julia has written a book that Mr. Vinton wants to publish. When Mr. Vinton arrives at the elderly sisters' magnolia-scented Louisiana mansion, he's the one surprised, finding that the house perfectly matches the one Miss Julia had described in her story. As a guest in the house, he finds old furniture carved with lion's heads, brass cherubs, a stone bench in a rose garden -- all things from the book. Mr. Vinton's mind becomes troubled as he wonders how much the rest of Miss Julia's murder mystery might be true.
