It is a great idea, however I also think the experimental project with a lyophilisation (freeze-drying) process running in Sweden for some years is a very interesting alternative.

As an atheist, you hear (and say) the comment about just being “worn dirt” after you die.
My idea has been to 1) be cremated, 2) mix ashes in with real worn dirt, fishing worms included, 3) package me up in pint size containers 4) hand me out at the funeral with the suggestion to take me fishing.
