Reading the Soil (oxfordamerican.org)

Title isn't super descriptive -- this article is about relocating dead bodies when cemeteries move/close.


When I die, after the state picks out what organs it can use, I hope they dump the rest in shark-infested waters or some place the wild finds it nutritious.

I won't complain if my body doesn't get a grave.


In the Parsi faith, neither burial or cremation are used. In Mumbai there is the famous Tower of Silence (not visible, or accessible to non-believers), where the bodies of the deceased are laid out on top for vultures to eat.


All excited for a rare scholarly article on soil structure and it turns out to be an episode of six feet under. Sigh.
