Ahhh, but the crabs eat the shark poop. It’s a great big circle of life!

Yeah but if you believe in the afterlife then you also have to take the chance that you’ll be spending all eternity hearing that damn song from the Lion King.
I bet it would wear after year 57 or so…

See a better use would be to process and freeze the bodies: “Corpsicles, New Blood type A flavour, Yumm!”

Or just bury me under a tree sans frivilous box…

My idea of a green funeral would start with donating every part that can be used to someone who needs it.
Then plant a nice tree on whatever’s left, give people some shade.
Reduce, reuse, recycle

That’s exactly what my instructions say

I’d like it if my body could feed some vultures or hyenas or something.

That could be arranged today, if you like the idea so much…

I’m not so sure that work out so well, what with all the kicking and screaming scaring off the vultures and hyenas.
I quite like the idea of being buried in a cardboard coffin, with a tree planted over me. Well, you know, after I’m dead and all.

And after they’ve finished with the dead bodies, and developed a taste for human flesh in the process, where do you think they’ll be looking to get their next meal? The same goes for dumping bodies into the ocean for sharks.

Polar bears don’t need to develop a taste for human flesh; they will stalk and kill humans when they see a chance—they’ve been doing it for many years. I don’t know that its ever been proven that sharks develop a taste for human flesh; if you have a cite, I would like to see it. Sharks are pretty opportunistic feeders, I think. A shark might well eat a human body if one happened to be floating by but I doubt it would make that shark hunt humans preferentially.

After a while, the screaming and kicking probably wears off a bit.
