neil cooney 10,416 Posted September 6, 2017 Report Share Posted September 6, 2017 Would the trees not sink just like a grave sinks as the body decomposes ? In a trees case it would topple over ? It's a nice idea though. Going for the taxidermy option myself, just to annoy the family as much in death as I did in life, LOL. 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

stumfelter 3,034 Posted September 6, 2017 Report Share Posted September 6, 2017 That's alright until your ferreting the woods among the tree roots and your hob brings a human finger out, or even worse lays up and you have to dig him out of some f*ckers ribcage! 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Accip74 7,112 Posted September 6, 2017 Report Share Posted September 6, 2017 There is a woodland burial site near to where I'm from. The wrabness woodland burial site. My uncle was buried there over ten years ago, not in a pod though, but in a cardboard coffin, I think? With a choice from a selection of trees......nice idea I thought.... 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
low plains drifter 11,427 Posted September 6, 2017 Report Share Posted September 6, 2017 Remember hearing a good few years ago about being buried in a cardboard coffin with a tree planted above, anybody know what plant nutrients a human body would supply a sapling with ?, bit of nitrogen I reckon Quote Link to post Share on other sites
neil cooney 10,416 Posted September 6, 2017 Report Share Posted September 6, 2017 I actually know of a woods that has many graves in it and after a storm the skeletons do be entwined in the roots of the tree. The farmer who owns the woods sends for the local Priest and he comes and blesses the deceased. I'm not sure if they get interned again. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

terryd 9,013 Posted September 7, 2017 Report Share Posted September 7, 2017 Great idea nothing more depressing than a bloody graveyard. I am going to stick some bulbs of some description on my grand parents graves. The wife noticed some one had done it and that is a great idea. Nice low maintenance fresh flower every year. They would have both liked that Quote Link to post Share on other sites
