This is a great post. It made me think of how most everyone in their 50's that I know wants to be cremated. My parents, still alive, already have plots, but want closed casket. My friends in their 30's and 40's all want this new eco/diamond type of thing.
My guess it's that it's all so generational. I love a good cemetary but I sure don't want to be in one. I also want to be cremated, but don't want my ashes sitting on anyones anything. Sprinkle me over the pacific, please. And then I think it's not really about the person who is dying, but instead about those that live on after us.
Let's have fun while we are alive; afterwards it's really about the living, isn't it?
