corpse tree

The idea of being stuck in a box and buried in the ground has always freaked me out. I think even in death, the confinement of a coffin would suffocate me. 
I hate the idea of being trapped.

And then there's cremation, which seemed cool, except where would I be scattered? Certainly not in the ocean, because open water is TERRIFYING.

I'd hate to sit on a shelf somewhere - aside from being super creepy, it seems lame.. who would want to become a piece of decor after they die? No thanks. 

THEN.

I found this:

What a perfect way to leave this world - become a tree!

Circle of life and all, I dig it...
