Check out Rainbows End in Orrington. We've used them before.

It does. There's still the formalities and paperwork, but it does help. The problem is ... What happens if the family sells or loses the property?

I guess the fact that I don't drink is showing. "They come in a flight" - and all I'm picturing is a plane out of the airport, but that doesn't seem right?

Thank you, I appreciate this. It's the same idea as grieving families, I think. I'm a face to take frustrations out on. Grief can often make people act out of character, for sure.

What is your area and I can check at work tomorrow? There's one we've worked with a few times, but I just cannot think of the name at the moment.
PS- As someone that is mindful of the environment, I thank you for your interest in green burials.

More like ... Our staff are easy people to take out grief and frustrations on. We're trained to deal with grief and we're strangers, so some people can act out more than others. And some are just jerks and it's more evident when they're grieving. We're not your enemy and are actually trying to help you.

No worries.
As far as I am aware, there is nothing in Maine that allows for this. Methods of disposition are cremation, burial with or without embalming, or donation to science. I'm not even sure where something like this would be set up. You wouldn't want this in your yard - decomposing bodies are nasty things.

It's very possible I do. :) Feel free to PM me if you wish. ;-)
We try. I'm not a director, I'm in the office, so I'm first line when someone calls us. I put up with a LOT of crap sometimes, but try to be patient because the people I'm dealing with have just had their world rocked and are trying their best to cope. Some people do it better than others.

Thanks for beating me to it! :) We need more alternatives, especially as green burials gain in popularity.

I appreciate this. I understand it's an industry that is both not understood and necessary and a lot of people are pissy because they can't just open up a hole and drop Grampa in it. There's policies and procedures and due process to this whether people like it or not.

Every time i answer a funeral question, I'm attacked every single time like I'm somehow responsible for it. I'm not. Just answering a question, so move on instead of taking it out on me (anyone, not just you). And no, not all burials are green in the end. - the processes are completely different. You're still dead and buried in the end. But not green. No.

I work at a funeral home. Sadly, this is not legal at this time. There's green burials, but not many cemeteries that honor that faithfully.
There are also biodegradable cremation containers if you're interested.

Exactly. Fishing. Hiking. Four wheeling. Back packing. Camping. I also know women that weld and do body work and are mechanics.
Maybe try suggesting things with a bit more variety than the old fashioned, "traditional" women hobbies? Broaden those ideas too.
