The government's foresight makes me feel a little better.

A sealed coffin is going to turn one's body in to mush. You want a box that will let a
few gasses out if you want to be preserved a bit longer. This is a reflection on some
sales pitches widows get about upgrading coffins.

Coffin adds disgust me. Same for morticians. Dig a hole, drop me in, leave a marker,
good enough for my dogs and cats, good enough for me.


I could not care les what happens to my body, as long as my kids will
remember me and the good times.

If they need 500,000 coffins in one particular area, who are they going
to get to do the burying? Unless it is due to an earthquake or massive
fire, something that is supposedly a one-time event that doesn't leave a
hazard behind, like a bio- or nuclear attack would, you wouldn't be able
to get anyone dumb enough to go in to do the burying. Anyway, if
everybody is already dead there, it doesn't really make much difference
if the bodies are buried, there's no public health left to protect.
