"Death is a Growth Industry"

Another new and exciting burial option: https://www.nytimes.com/2019/06/12/style/forest-burial-death.html

Very cool that start-ups are getting into this space. The basic idea behind this one is 'buying' a tree in an established forest (in Bay area - for a start up, this is a no brainer!) and then once cremated your remains will be mixed with soil and water and feed the tree. There are options, like any good business, with community trees (ie- your remains being missed with those of others), going for a smaller price tag. The article also digs into how this start-up is working through the permits and red tape of the death care industry... which leads me to my next random thought: also from this article, I love the term 'eternity management'. Brilliant.
