This won't be a deep dive into tissue and organ donation, more like a comparison to whole body donation. I have also included some facts that I believe are important and crucial to anyone considering this method of body disposition. Important links are included below:

Yes! I hadn't considered this as a green option for body disposition, but it checks the boxes so far as I have learned.

Many people I speak to have asked me about the idea of a body becoming a tree. Pretty cool concept since our collective conscience is becoming aware of greenhouse gases and toxic pollutants. Maybe this is the answer! Not so fast....

How many times have we said that? How many times have we said that and still didn't do something? How many times did we miss our chance to reach out - forever?
That can be a heavy thought to have in your brain. The heaviness can lead to action:
to not miss out on moments when the image of someone you are missing pops into your head and you think you should call, or text.Have questions? Send me a message!

Let's start talking green burial. First off, you may want to find a cemetery that follows green practices. The best way to find that is to look at the Green Burial Council website. Their directory lists certified cemeteries by their criteria, by state.

About While We're Still Here
From the publisher's feed
My parents died within five months of each other. It was a blur. Several years later, to help a friend discuss her end of life, I went to a Death Cafe. That was it. No going back. Now the subject…
of dying and death is a topic of daily conversation. Once we acknowledge that 100% of us will die, we can begin to understand the importance of sharing our final wishes and we can work at leaving nothing unsaid to our people. We can empower others to do the same. Let's discuss how to live for today knowing that we all will die.
