In the age to come I wonder if we shall return to a practice resembling this? I wanted cremation, but now I'm not so certain. I may prefer to fhave my body laid out with flowers in a lovely Grecian ceremonial robe. Nothing elaborate. And then I wish to be left for the animals and insects. I expect to be in the Elysian Fields, but my body should be returned to Great Gaea Herself, to Mother Athena in that way.
