From Andrée Goodson, Norwich, Norfolk, UK
Heartfelt sympathies to Graham Lawton, and thanks for his article on eco-burials. My mum has stipulated that she wants ano-frills cremation, as she doesn’t want “them b*****s” to profit from her death. We can then scatter her ashes approximately where we scattered those of her beloved husband and dog(8 October, p 24).
Personally, I would prefer to compost her, then use her on the veg patch. But sadly, this isn’t an option in the UK – although it is gaining in popularity in the US.
