I don;t think so due to the risk of it being dug up and the possibility of infection and contamination. I think you'd be OK with ashes although if it's a public place or area there might be restrictions.

i attended a funeral a couple of years ago of a local farmer. The burial
was in some scrub woodland on the farm. Ther local authority has to give
permission, but it is quite possible.

You build a frame to hold a trap-door above the hole, put all the soil
on top, climb into the hole and pull the trap-door release cord. Of
course, if you prefer to die before you are buried, you would need to
rig up the release to some sort of heart monitor.

My next-door neighbour owned a few fields adjacent to their cottage.
Both he, his wife and her favourite horse are buried in one corner of
one of them, so in principle you don't have to be buried in a cemetery
of cremated. They were Jehovah's Witnesses.

I don't think you need any official permission if you just want to
scatter ashes, although it might be a good idea to clear it with the
land-owner.

An interesting link, thankyou.

Dig the hole in the usual way.

Jump in the hole with a decent explosive, set it
off and kill yourself and fill in the hole that way.

Different country.... but my brother wanted his ashes scattered over a wild
steppe with a view of a fjord and pine trees and all that in Norway,
preferably within the arctic circle.
We chose Tromso as the area, and had to liaise with the town bosses (not
sure what they are called there) who had to get permission from people
higher up who owned the whole area Tromso is in,

Bit of paperwork, and we had to mark on a map the exact spot we scattered
his ashes, there were restrictions on the spots we could choose... ground
water and things like that,

To scatter in one of the fjords would have been much less paperwork and
everything, and they said most people don't even ask, but it's not really a
problem over water.

After serious thinking Gazz wrote :

What's wrong with 'The Great Escape' method of just filling your
trouser legs up, held back with a pull to release cord, then just
walking innocently around as the residue is scattered ?

I don;t think so due to the risk of it being dug up and the
possibility of infection and contamination. I think you'd be OK with

Should be stiched in a shroud, and traditionally the last stich was
put through the nose the idea being that it was a lastcheck they were
dead.

I was involved once in making a film where some bodies were buried at
Sea. The very realistic props were attached by some fishing line
which should have been strong enough to pull em back for recovery but
thin enough to be easily edited out of shot. The thinness won and
one Body started to drift away. Coast guard were previously informed
of what were doing were so were unfazed by the radio call " 1 body
recovered ,one drifting towards Gosport we'll pull it out later".
God knows what various yachts around listening on the same channel

Damn!!
That was seriously a splutter of coffee moment :-)

It reminded me of a time, a couple of years ago, that we had hired some
radios to a film company and one of the messages heard over the air was
someone asking for more belts of .303 for the machine gun in Severn
Sisters Rd London. as they were running short on ammo. Again I wondered
what any scanner listeners, who weren't aware what the messages were
about, thought of it?

Yes , And out towards the Nab Tower.
Brazilian production company using this vessel.
http://www.ss-shieldhall.co.uk/

Boats from local pleasure operator Blue Funnel standing by out of shot
to act as instant life boat and provide catering ,medical area etc. as
we were over our normal passenger numbers.
All procedures agreed with the Marine and Coastguard Agency.
One was a fast launch that brought juveniles out late and took them
back early as there are working hours restrictions for children ,and
it collected the dummy body on it's return.
From DIY point of view the Brazilian team turned up with 110V
equipment ,the vessel offers 230 AC or 220DC. Fortunately I had
acquired lots of tool transformers over the years which suddenly came
into their own.
The Brazilians seem to be a bit relaxed about the Term Extra,when they
asked I thought it would just be in shot to make up numbers, didn't
expect to put be in a Uniform and take part in a main scene.
None of those in the burial party are actors,we were all blokes who
are normally wielding spanners and needle guns.
The actress was lovely, spoke 5 languages but unheard of in the
English speaking world but a top heart throb in S America .When not
acting was building props with hammer and nails or wielding a
paintbrush. No diva behaviour at all. Got a crush on a younger
colleague and invited him to her ranch in Brazil ,silly bugger
chickened out.
It was a fun 10 days leave from normal work.

it collected the dummy body on it's return.
From DIY point of view the Brazilian team turned up with 110V
equipment ,the vessel offers 230 AC or 220DC. Fortunately I had
acquired lots of tool transformers over the years which suddenly came
into their own.
The Brazilians seem to be a bit relaxed about the Term Extra,when they
asked I thought it would just be in shot to make up numbers, didn't
expect to put be in a Uniform and take part in a main scene.
None of those in the burial party are actors,we were all blokes who
are normally wielding spanners and needle guns.
The actress was lovely, spoke 5 languages but unheard of in the
English speaking world but a top heart throb in S America .When not
acting was building props with hammer and nails or wielding a
paintbrush. No diva behaviour at all. Got a crush on a younger
colleague and invited him to her ranch in Brazil ,silly bugger
chickened out.
It was a fun 10 days leave from normal work.

But, simply, WHY? Brazil is a long way from Nab Tower and there is an
awful lot of sea nearer than the Solent. :-)

Are you saying this was filmed off Gosport?

Yes , And out towards the Nab Tower.

Apparently they couldn't find a suitable oldish looking ship over
there in working order.
It's the last bit that is important,there are many old ships around
the world but anything that is running is probably committed to doing
it's everday work. There are very few which can be made available for
filming at relatively short notice. Our project is run like the more
well known preserved Railways with a volunteer crew and had a lot of
slack time so it was a case of enough crew able to take leave,get away
from the shed, missus etc and enjoy a pleasant few days doing
something different. Revenue went back into the ships funds.
Managed to a hit about the only continous 10 days sunshine that
summer,between shots heck of a lot of bottles of water were being
handed out.

Get hold of the Natural Death Handbook. Full of useful information on how to handle officialdom when you have a body to deal with.

I was talking to someone just recently about composting eco burials, and the idea of dropping long-lasting engraved markers in with the body - just as a hint to future police forces that it was a burial, not a concealed murder.

Ok, thanks. Interesting.
