Comment on When you die, what do you want to be done with you?

I want my nutrients returned to the earth.
That means that green burial, human composting, burial at sea, and aquamation are all options.
I absolutely do not want cremation. It’s an energy intensive process that also renders the deceased’s accumulated nutrients unavailable to other organisms.
This thread also reminds me that I need to revoke the organ donor status from my driver’s license. As much as I like / appreciate the concept, a viable organ donation requires dying in a hospital. I would prefer to pass outdoors in a natural setting that I feel connected to or, at worst, in my own home.

Could you leave the organ donor status just in case you die in a hospital?
