Personally, I have a preference for the old navy tradition of burial at sea. I think there is something rather romantic about the way the cloth swathed corpse slides gently out from under the flag as the band plays and the uniformed sailors stand respectfully at attention.

To my mind the sudden splash as the departed hits the water and begins its plunge into the deep is somehow more peaceful than a spadeful of dirt on the coffin lid, or the vision of a loved one entering the fiery doors of a furnace.

There is even time for reflection as the mind envisages the final descent of the body to become fish fodder.

There again, I guess the 'Green Police' wouldn't like this one either, given its potential for polluting our oceans.

Only one thing is certain, they care a lot more about what happens than the dead, who of course no longer have a clue or a care in the world.
