in the united states we are so far
removed from that we really are a
death-denying culture it’s just not
something we think about it’s not
something we take seriously I think the
role of the funeral director many times
is to take folks who have never thought
about the realities of death and now of
a sudden they are dealing with it
they’re not prepared for the types of
emotions that they’re going to be
feeling you feel brief less than any
other emotion during your lifetime and
they are again looking for guidance
they’re looking for somebody to to take
their hand and lead them in this journey
if you take the opportunity to get a
little closer to death and understand
that there’s a lot of opportunities out
there to do what you really want with
yourself with your body with with what
you want to do with your body once
you’ve you know cease to exist in this
world there’s some amazing things that
you can do you can go into it diamonds
you can become a coral reef you can get
shot into outer space these are things
you can do with your ashes but now
they’re coming up with amazing things
that you can actually do with your human
remains you know you can you know be
with with the green burial concept where
you’re returning your body to earth to
nourish the earth you can be put into a
mushroom suit where the fungus of the
mushroom will actually help to expedite
the decomposition of the human body you
can become the roots of a tree and allow
your your body to become the nutrients
that that tree needs to to begin growing
and living what makes a Green Cemetery
different from a conventional Cemetery
is that we don’t bury anything unnatural
or toxic chemical into the earth so
bodies are not in bombed
we don’t use any metal or plastic
caskets the idea of a natural barrier
park is that you look around and you
can’t tell that people are buried here
you can’t see the graves you feel
they’re just in the preserve and we
don’t allow any upright headstones or
any decorations you can just have a flat
natural stone like this which is
engraved the idea is just that
everything that goes into the ground
needs to be readily biodegradable
the Anthropology research facility is
the very first type of laboratory of its
kind it is a natural laboratory for
human decomposition and so we place
donors out in the open on the surface of
the ground and also some that are buried
some of the research we do here directly
helps law enforcement find out where
somebody might have come from
geographically even if you don’t know
who they are clues like that are
extremely helpful in solving a case
especially a case where we have
recovered remains and we simply have no
idea who this person was
a chronics is the goal of preserving the
patient until a point where science and
technology may be able to repair the
cells revive the patient and allow us as
an organization to help to rehabilitate
them we have very good evidence that
under decent conditions we are in fact
preserving those structures so it should
be possible not just to bring back a
body but you your personality your
values your memories everything about
you
