I have never looked at human passage in that way. One point for this website in bring that to light. Other than the risk of infectious disease I do see and agree with your point @terrykohla. The problem them becomes what, a forest full of "trees of life"! And the laws that would be birthed from foresters wanting to cut trees down for profit would be yet another war or even worse, create the proverbial forest fire. Great gesture, just too many people on the planet to suffice. I'll have to wear this one on the chest and stick with cremation even though there is great merit to your idea. Thanks for your reply.
