When I penned a guide a few short years ago on how to green your funeral , it seemed like most of the options available for a more sustainable burial leaned, shall we say, toward the new agey side of things.

The fruit trees will go to a public housing development and the individual plants will go to the Wayward Plant Registry , which is a … Read the full story on TreeHugger
