There's a really cool company that will make jewels from your ashes. When I eventually get a heart transplant, I want to have my old heart burnt to ash then made into a pendant or ring I can wear. Creepy? Maybe. I'd rather the majority of my meat go to feed some animals (Tibetan Sky Burial) or a tree. Unfortunately, the funeral home lobby in Michigan is pretty strong, and every single person who dies and is to be buried in this state has to be embalmed before they go in the ground, or even before they go into the furnace. As far as I know, it is actually against the law to be buried au natural.
