    Aquamation is, as far as I know, the most sustainable way to have your remains disposed of, and even reused. You may want to look into that!

      Sounds like it still uses energy to dispose of the body. I appreciate the recommendation. I still expect ocean-dumping to be more energy efficient. Especially if the people depositing my body use a sailboat. I only did a cursory search, so I’m happy to be corrected if I’m getting that wrong.

        It does, but a significantly lower amount than most alternatives (besides burial and similar full body disposals of course).

        But indeed burial at sea is even less impactful!
