environmentalgraffiti.com — Cynthia Beal from Portland, U.S., and owner of The Natural Burial Company, has taken this challenge, and has decided that when she dies, she wants her remains to be used to grow an Oregon cherry tree. She has everything she needs to make it happen ? a body, a burial site, and a biodegradable coffin.

Give me a pine box, please. I'd much rather decompose naturally instead of becoming liquid goo at the bottom of an airtight, non-biodegradable coffin.
