If this is your new plan for getting rid of all the bodies , you'd be better off keeping it quiet dai .

Just thinking about a new business lol there’s a place near me it’s called a natural burial ground the  burial is basically the same as any other just no head stone i think my idea is more natural

It would take an awful lot of red kites and buzzards to strip a human , and I don't reckon the neighbours would be happy when a buzzard flew over them, and dropped a left bollock on there bbq .

You'd also need someone to smash the bones up into tiny pieces , so that they get eaten.

I reckon more would get eaten by rats than red kites.

I must be honest though dai.  I really like the idea of those sky burials.

Could get a bit messy in the summer if business took off Dai 🥹… 

maybe stick to using them pigs and stashing them in bushes ..

I watched a documentary some years ago David Attenborough I think about sky burials a Tibetan woman who chopped the bodies in pieces before feeding them to vultures had to get pissed up before she did it lol

I've seen a documentary when monks were doing it. They slash the corpses to give the vultures a head start , then once a lot of the flesh has been eaten , they smash the bones , so that the vultures can swallow the pieces.

It's sort of horrific , but natural .

To be honest , I think I'd prefer it to burial or cremation.

I saw one just outside Lhasa (the place of the gods) the Tibetan capital years ago,I also went up to a sky burial sight a few years back in Bhutan a few days after a burial but there wasn't even a scrap of bone left,vultures had done a good job.

Sky burials??? More like ;chuck em in a field burials.

I like the idea but some people might get upset seeing their old mum being gutted by vultures. The coppers might not like human bones being scattered around the place too.

When I saw the title I thought Rupert Murdoch was  branching out into the funeral business.

It would be no good for me. No vulture could get my wedding tackle down its gullet. The RSPB would be on the case immediately.
