I’m pretty sure your mocking. But the funeral industry needs to be disrupted. Went through the process a couple weeks ago and it felt pretty scummy.

I don't really have a point here, but my wife and I recently looked at burial options and there's a beautiful cemetery near us but the only really affordable option is cremation and storage in a wall of tiny notches with little doors with an indoor/outdoor viewing area and garden for visitors.

I have started referring to it as, "Our Cubby" and my wife hates it.

A lot of it is legal, but there is some change happening. WA recently made it legal to compost* human remains, perhaps the first new option outside of burial and cremation?
