I kindof am leaning this way. The whole embalming process seems so un natural. this way, "ashes to ashes dust to dust". I am not very reliegous but I like the old traditions. I want folks to scoop dirt and throw it on too.

OTOH I like the idea of having my ashes spread someplace I loved, like Turkey run state park, near here where we love taking the kids and grandkids hiking and where my folks took us when we were little.
