What do you guys think of being cremated and your ashes spread in a natural area (like in a public park). How ethical do you think it is for a pantheist?
How eco-friendly would it be? How legal would it be?
I'm just thinking, in order to visit my "grave", my loved ones would have to visit a natural woodland area, which would in turn become sorta
sacred to them. Your thoughts?
