When I die...
by Leone, NSW
Librarian, Aged 40
I would really like my body to be recycled back into nature...my ideal would be to laid out on the cliffs in Africa and fed to the vultures, but as the vultures are experiencing a crisis, I guess this could be a problem. Definitely, I want to be eaten by wild animals...not in the water though. Sharks are out...no burials at sea. I have no connection with water whatsoever. Rock, and earth are important to me. Being left in the desert is also very appealing...I know Australian law won't allow any of these options. I might have to settle for a wicker basket in the ground. No cremation!
