If laws and societal customs didn’t matter, I would hope for my body to be returned to nature in a way that promotes ecological health. Ideally, a natural burial in a forest or meadow would allow my body to decompose and nourish the earth, contributing to the life cycle. Alternatively, I might choose a more symbolic gesture, like being woven into a coral reef to support marine life or becoming part of a living art installation that inspires others to reflect on life and mortality. Ultimately, I’d want my remains to foster growth and connection rather than being confined to traditional practices. What about you?
