How come they don't say anything about this kind of burial:

I have no problem with this, I actually don't like the idea of being buried in a community cemetery. Now if my family had it's own private cemetery... then I would like to be buried there, but who has that anymore? I don't like the idea of being cremated either.

Hikers drink water from runoff and other nearby water sources. Disease anyone?

$4,000 for a 3 foot deep hole in the woods? I gave my 3 cats and my dog rocket a green burial for free.

“As Lou Gehrig’s disease advanced earlier this year, Sall knew it was time to consider end-of-life logistics. He thought about cremation, but didn’t like the idea of pumping gases into the atmosphere, said his son, David.”
Oh please.

We decided years ago not to go the mortuary route. Where we live, we can bury loved ones on our own property within 24 hours of death, provided no autopsy is needed and no communicable disease was involved.
No embalming fluid, $10,000.00 casket, or creepy funeral home for us. It will be a celebration of life, not a gloom and doom crying fest.
The current funeral ritual in the U.S. is one of the most gruesome (and one of the biggest rackets), in the world, IMO.

“Our bodies don’t belong to us. They belong to nature.”
Then nature needs to issue a recall on your thinking parts.

The Zorastrians would put a body up on a 10 ft high platform and let the carrions do the rest.

My personal opinion is to put me in a simple pine box, dig a hole 6 feet deep, drop me in, and cover the hole with dirt. A simple stone marker will suffice, and I’m thinking of learning how to do that myself (now), so that it’ll be ‘shovel ready’ in another 60 years or so.
