While looking for more information on Occupy Wall Street's origins, I ended up at AdBusters' site. There was an issue with a cover of a guy shoving two guns through the side of his face and out his mouth, so I clicked on it, and there was an article entitled "The Holy Shit", so of course I had to see what that was about. The article itself is an idealistic piece, but the interesting tidbit was the concept of a tree headstone. That is, when you die, you're buried in a biodegradable coffin a couple feet below the surface with a tree planted over the coffin. The tree would then grow from the decomposition of the body and so a bit of the essence of the deceased would continue to exist.
I didn't particularly like the idea of being cremated or being preserved, so this might be how I'll ask to go.
