28. Would that require a biodegradable coffin?

I know they make those. I the idea of a "sacred forest" that doesn't feel like a cemetery. Loved ones would use GPS to locate the tree since there wouldn't be markings on on it. I'm usually not a sentimental person. In fact, some people might even say I don't have any feelings, but that concept really appeals to me.
