#HumanComposting sounds beautiful. Becoming part of the garden you loved, or the gardens of loved ones, feels right.

#CaitlinDoughty of #AskAMortician has a very informative video on it.

Also I'd like to mention an another interesting project - Death Over Dinner (https://deathoverdinner.org/) it is an initiative launched in 2013 to spark conversations about death and end-of-life wishes over shared meals.

With over 100,000 dinners worldwide, it offers tools, prompts, a resource library (reads, watches, listens), and editions like Australian and Jewish.

Part of RoundGlass, it aims to normalize death talks, reducing suffering through communication.

Death Over Dinner -

Death Over Dinner

The subject of death should no longer be taboo, because death is a part of life. Do not ignore this important part.

“Our great-grandparents were told that babies were found under gooseberry bushes or cabbages; our children are likely to be told that those who have passed on… are changed into flowers or lie at rest in lovely gardens.” — Caitlin Doughty

Happy Saturday!! 🩷

📖 currently reading: Will My Cat Eat My Eyeballs? And Other Questions About Dead Bodies by Caitlin Doughty

I'm about 30% into this book and it's fascinating! I'm learning a lot and it's presented in a really fun and interesting way.

I'm enjoying a relaxing morning with my kiddo just hanging out while he watches some Blue's Clues. It's been a long week and we're both suffering with sinus issues, so a lazy morning it is 😅 Tomorrow we're heading to my brother and sister-in-law's new house to see it and have lunch together!

➡️ What are you up to this weekend?

Every day that passes I become more rabid against animal captivity in any form. My dog will (probably) be my last, and my reptiles are kept only because if they did not find a forever home they would be put down. Since "waste" in the retail & wholesale animal industries continues, I will continue to do what I can to diminish that waste.

My favourite mortician, Caitlin Doughty, takes a bit of a content detour to talk about the 1994 death of Tyke, the elephant, in Hawai'i. It's hard viewing folks, but just another argument in the arsenal against animal captivity for the purposes of entertainment.

Why Did Tyke the Elephant Have to Die?

My wife and I saw #CaitlinDoughty tonight in #FargoND - lots of fun, even though neither my wife nor I are super familiar with her, but my wife is a little spooky and any talk of dead bodies or skeletons is right up her strasse.

@drdan_o Have you come across the Ask a Mortician channel on youtube, presented by #CaitlinDoughty?

Many of her videos are about 19th century American history on the subject.
