This article was a hoot.  I made my comments, and all the comments are hilarious.

I MADE 'GUARDIAN PICK'!!  Waited a long time for that.

Here's my famous comments and other comments.

Do we need a coffin? The new trend may be to haul the body off in a sack, cremate with others in an environmentally green manner, and then have a party. I want that.

Before my mum dies two years ago, she's left strict instructions that we were give her the cheapest funeral possible. We did have a coffin but it was the cheapest, least grand one going. At £900 for the funeral/cremation and £150 for the wake she would have been very pleased. The funeral director seemed to relish the challenge of doing it as cheaply as possible, he was full of great money-saving ideas.

Cremation is bad for the environment by definition.

A decomposing body produces methane. Perhaps the next step is to grind the bodies up for our giant dog poop composting plants? Capture the methane to make plastic...

I just looked it up for Toronto. The 'whoosh away' option is $1500 cdn. They don't call themselves 'Uber Dead', more's the pity.
