"Death is not a topic many of us like to dwell on. Thoughts of our own death, in particular, are often pushed to the back of our mind. But recently more people have been tackling the issue head on - by planning their own green funeral. Conventional funerals can take their toll on the environment in terms of chemicals, resources and habitat, but green funerals can actually make a positive contribution to the planet. Their popularity has been increasing to such an extent that Mike Jarvis, director of the Natural Death Centre, estimates that by 2010 some 12% of funerals will be classed as green."

My parents and I already know each other's wishes. Donate anything you can and burn the rest. I think that's about as green as it gets.
