I'd rather be put inside a small craft propelled by a solar sail and/or electrostatic ion thruster toward a supermassive black hole, but that's me.

What happened to a good old viking burial at sea eh? I was asking myself the question about how do loved ones visit you. Glad they cleared that up for me.

For those wanting to be cremated, the company has a novel, practical and permanent solution...(given there are sites around the world that once were cemeteries, graves were moved and sites used/zoned differently - for example, Central Railway in Sydney once was a cemetry site).

Plus, person's remains are interned, thus becoming part of a structure for building a reef...great for the environment!

The Ecofreaks and Carbon Footprint Nazi's put an end to it, mucker.

I believe a similar burial can be achieved on the river in Porth. Couple of bags of crack and a few flagons of Quite Frightening to the right chavs, and off you go, Rude Olaf (mimes firing a flaming arrow across Asda carpark into the river, just opposite the Dole Office).
