Website Review Ask A Mortician

Death is one of life's greatest Taboos. It is therefore refreshing to find a website that discusses death, decay, embalming, cremation, grief, the work of funeral homes, ideal cremation oven temperatures and more, candidly and honestly, with good macabre humour. - Considering burial at sea? This site explains it in detail. Caitlin Doughty offers one of the best sites to learn all kinds of historic deaths, from the Salem witch trial hangings to the fate of bodies recovered and not recovered after the Titanic sank. On the site page here, Caitlin explains the kind of death that frightens even her. If you find such topics creepy or morbid, don't read on. Ask A Mortician on Youtube -

Cremation for me, my biggest fear is to wake up once buried, better to be burnt "like a witch".

@TheHorse I suppose I sink, I am surely a witch, some of my friends used to call me "the witch" because of my premonitory dreams and because I guessed what they had in mind, many times.

Do you float? Or sink?

No living creature wants to die and I for one don't dwell on it. However, if I had my way I'd ask to be buried under a tree in a simple pine box, no trimmings. My body is all I have to give back to my beautiful planet.

Thank you @arthurchappell I got the notion from things I've read about some of the Native American tribes we have.

Interesting video but I'm not likely to go cave-diving any time soon

Never viewed. BBQed? I'm trying to decide whether I want to be spread over Montana or buried somewhere. Right now, I'm going swimming.

@arthurchappell Do you want to wind up on a fire place or scattered in nature?

Not a place I would relish to visit at all and the poor women of Salem and others over here that suffered the same fate is not something I like to even think of.
