Re: woodland burials

I'm a great believer in cremation, takes up less space, and the ashes are organic so they do the land some good. I want to be scattered on Pendle Hill, I've told the children where to stand, and warned them about wind direction! - I don't want to hang out forever in their coat seams. I have also specified that I want the cheapest possible pine box, preferably without handles, in fact a cardboard box sounds like a great idea, but it would probably have to be line with polythene or something else waterproof - don't ask why! I think cremation will eventually become compulsory, since we're running out of spaces to put people.

May be wrong about this Pendy, little piece on the news this morning that too many people in Scotland are scattering their relatives ashes on popular summits, and thereby causing the content of the soil to change, which in turn is killing off all the grasses and plants. The suggestion is that they bury the the ashes .. not the same though, is it ?

Re: woodland burials

I thought when they scattered them on the rose garden at the cemetary it was good for the roses. They always seem to get scattered on rose gardens.

Re: woodland burials

Dunno Willow, just repeating what they said .. never mentioned bushes .. not many on summits of hills, I suppose. Sure some gardening expert on here can fill us in. Perhaps we are good for Roses, who knows ? Hope all the heather is not being killed off though or the thistle, Scotland will have no National Flower left then.
