You can't take it with you, folks, and that includes your body. I don't get the rituals around what happens to bodies after consciousness leaves them. Let the dust return to dust. So what if it happens together with a bunch of other dust? My dust won't know the difference at that point.

The important thing for me is to leave a legacy besides what happens to my body. A work of art or technology, or memories passed down through offspring. Maybe a nice little obituary.

The stories in the article are great, I just don't get the attitude that asks, "how dare these people be buried this way?" I think it has everything to do with the irrational fear of death, maybe one of the only things we won't be able to rationally, personally comprehend.
