The copywriting is hysterical: "I love you grandma!" "Wow how've big you've grown!"
Why in the stomach? How can they discard that the fig was in a pocket or a bag or was just planted by somebody later to mark the area?
They can tell skeletons significantly older than 1000 years were from someone, for example, killed by a tiger, due to teeth marks on bones.
‘Yes,’ said the home’s owner, ‘colonial times...’”

It's a natural time capsule. The ground under the tree is stabilized for the duration of the tree's life, effectively snapshotting its contents.
The first time someone explained this to me while on a hike, as they excitedly dug through a mess of exposed tree roots, was one of those rare, surreal perspective-shifting moments. Suddenly I saw the forest surrounding me as a versioned filesystem of sorts, with every tree holding a snapshot of ground for its respective age beneath.

> Here is what Americans put in the ground each year through traditional burials: 20 million feet of wood, 4.3 million gallons of embalming fluids, 1.6 million tons of reinforced concrete, 17,000 tons of copper and bronze, and 64,500 tons of steel, according to the Green Burial Council.
> Green burials eliminate much of this waste by leaving out almost all of those materials; most bodies are simply wrapped in shrouds made from a biodegradable material like cotton and placed in the ground. And although cremations often have the reputation as being an eco-friendly option, they tend to have an outsize carbon footprint.
The article goes on to mention http://www.letyourlovegrow.com/ , which sounds similar to The Living Urn, and http://www.eternalreefs.com/ , "which hold cremated remains in an underwater cement ball and create new marine habitats for fish and other sea life."
Been looking for something similar, but where they just use the body as is.
The idea really appealed to me, but as I recall the company never got funding to build their first facility.
Rip.
its definitely not a consent, no matter how you try to spin it.
A better analogy would be you're getting arrested, and you plug your ears with your fingers and say "LA LA LA I CAN'T HEAR YOU" and then argue that you can't be arrested if you can't hear the people arresting you. Interesting argument, but not how it works.
GDPR Recital 32, sentence 3: "Silence, pre-ticked boxes or inactivity should not therefore constitute consent." https://gdpr-info.eu/recitals/no-32/

However uMatrix does not send agrees; in fact, it shreds most 'requests to consent' to pieces before relaying the page to the user as a side-effect of blocking third-party cookies+scripts. So unlike the cat proxy, uMatrix will never send a (deceitful) agreement back and the website owner never gets a reply for his inquiry.
All a website owner gets from a uMatrix user is the wrench they threw into the consent acquiring procedure, and I doubt that's enough to signify consent as defined in GDPR.
GDPR Art. 4 (11) https://gdpr-info.eu/art-4-gdpr/
‘consent’ of the data subject means any freely given,
specific, informed and unambiguous indication of the data
subject’s wishes by which he or she, by a statement or by a
clear affirmative action, signifies agreement to the
processing of personal data relating to him or her;("non-local" is admittedly a bit funny sounding. Alternatives: "non-native tree", "unusual tree", "unexpected tree").
He was blown up by dynamite.. not super clear that his stomach was all that intact.
The shockwave inside a cave can be a pretty deadly thing even if you are behind cover. He could even have been killed by something as minute as a ruptured blood vessel in the brain.
