Natural Burial survey - your help appreciated

[Beastmaster.308]

Dear All,

I'm currently in my final year of my degree studying Rural Land Management as a mature student, and completing my research dissertation on whether natural burial could assist in the management and creation of woodlands.

If anyone had 5 mins spare it would really help me out if you could fill in my survey.

It does cover the subject of berevement and funerals (nothing graphic) so please only proceed if you are happy discussing such things.

My thanks for your support.

but only environmentally friendly in shark infested waters.

I suppose that they could always just drag my carcass into the woods and let the boar deal with it but it could be a bit upsetting if you had a boar walking down the street in Coleford with a leg hanging out of it's mouth.

It should cost no more than £500 or less for such a burial.

There's a natural buried ground near me. I've put a couple of good friends to rest there, in wicker coffins.
Apart from anything else, it's saved a piece of woodland from felling.

Done. Good idea in my opinion.

£50 for a big cardboard box and we will carry it ourselves. If the back of a Landy is good enough for DoE then it's fine for me.

Thinking realistically it could be done quite cheaply as time is usually taken in the morgue waiting for the coroners report, embalming, registrar etc.
There would be a certain amount of time being held in the morgue waiting for the Coroner to do his job but that isn't always necessary if the deceased passed in hospital, Doctors report, Registrar then down the hole they go, just a few days.
As was said cardboard box, carry yourself then away you go, job done or have I missed something.
My wife having passed recently, cost because she passed at home and had to have an autopsy so she was held in the morgue until that could be done, then there was a long wait for a certain number of bodies to make the Crematorium viable for stoking up.
She was held for quite some time, in fact she was kept so long that when I asked to see her once more before the Crem opened up, was told she had deteriated so much it was not advisable, so the last sight of my dear wife was when she was still as pretty as before she passed.

Done & Good Luck. The online survey was much easier than all the paper ones that I had to churn out when I did my MSc at RAC

That is very touching.
So sorry to hear of your loss.
