My wishes to have a Green Burial someday
Jul. 22nd, 2024 07:45 pmSomething I have been wanting to do for a few years is to make out a will - or a living will as it is known I think. To figure out what will become of my house and everything I own when I pass away - but most importantly what I would like to have done with my body. I would like have a green burial. If some of you have not heard of this term, here is a link: https://www.greenburialcouncil.org/science_green_burial.html
I have thought about this a-lot over the last several years. I just want to be burred in the ground naturally. No chemicals or any of that put into my body. This may sound dark, but give the little buggies something to munch on. I think it would be a beautiful thing to become one with the earth when my life is over. I've never seen the big deal about typical burials and all that goes into them. Both how they are towards the environment and our pockets. They are beyond expensive!
So now I just need to get the courage and start getting my plans into motion. A few years ago I went to a green burial site in the county I live in, about 40 minutes away from where I live. I may look into that one. It was a peaceful and positive experience. I'm a bit nervous - not about talking about when I will die someday, but as to the legal part. I'm nervous about what to leave to who. Since I honestly don't have anyone to legally leave my home to. I have a few ideas of what to do... but at least I know one answer about my afterlife plans and that feels like a start.
