Hope these guys aren't discriminated against. Really went to their site seeking estate planning info on interfaith, semi- or non-Christian burial. The time will come and I don't wish to feed money to traditional venues.

... naked and with no embalming. My filings will be removed. Under $2,000. No family, no wake, no mourners. I am going back into the earth. I plan to leave no estate, nothing for my family to dispose of. It all goes Goodwill or Salvation Army.

I used to ask them to leave me out with the garbage. They balked. So now I asked them to cremate me, and make no mention of Heaven, Hell or God at my funeral. I will not die with my name associated with the Jude’s-Christian concept of death.
