Some earth-conscious folks are eschewing toxic embalming fluid and hardwood coffins for a more natural kind of burial.
Joe Sehee, contemplating his inevitable demise, says: "I don't want to go in the ground with anything, I just want to be buried in a simple pine box or shroud, and that's it."

I'm afraid I have to go pyrolysis as well. Years of bacon consumption may load the aquifers with nitrates.
It's just the right thing to do.

I want to be Freeze-dried and positioned on the side of a country road with a orange vest, hardhat and one of those yellow SLOW signs. http://www.qrz.com/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/biggrin.gif

Well I ain't afraid of die'n,It's the thought of being dead
I wanna go on being me once my eulogys been read
Don't spread my ashes out to sea, don't lay me down to rest
You can put my mind to ease if you fill my last request

Prop me up beside the jukebox when I die
Lord I wanna go to heaven but I don't wanna go tonight
Fill my boots up with sand, put a stiff drink in my hand
prop me up beside the jukebox when I die

Just make your next selection and while your still iin line
You can pay you last respects one quarter at a time

Prop me up beside the jukebox when I die
Lord I wanna go to heaven but I don't wanna go tonight
fill my boots up with sand put a stiff drink in my hand
prop me up beside the jukebox when I die

Oh prop me up beside the jukebox when I die
