From Andrée Goodson, Norwich, Norfolk, UK
Heartfelt sympathies to Graham Lawton, and thanks for his article on eco-burials. My mum has stipulated that she wants ano-frills cremation, as she doesn’t want “them bs” to profit from her death. We can then scatter her ashes approximately where we scattered those of her beloved husband and dog(8 October, p 24).
Personally, I would prefer to compost her, then use her on the veg patch. But sadly, this isn’t an option in the UK – although it is gaining in popularity in the US.
