Life and Death

I believe that everyone is entitled to a say in what happens to their body after death. The current societal norm is to avoid such conversations and to only accept the mainstream practices of cremation and anti-ecological burials. I would like to see a world where people can be offered more eco-friendly options such as aquamation or natural burials. I think if these conversations become more acceptable, then most people would prefer to choose an option that respects the environment along with their legacy. To achieve this, our government needs to legalize aquamation in our province and funeral homes should start presenting more options to families, such as natural burials.
