So, I found this really interesting website. This is probably the most interesting way I have seen people be disposed of after they die. As you'll see on the webpage, the people of Tibet do something called a sky burial. Because the ground in Tibet is too hard to dig up to put bodies in the ground and they don't have much timber to make fires for cremation, and they also feel no need to preserve their bodies, so they usually will cut up a body and put it on a mountain top where vultures and other birds can eat it. Sounds pretty eco friendly if you ask me. Here is the website showing how they do it. I warn you! There are some very graphic photos!

Someone brought something very interesting up about how they thought a bunch of these photos shouldn't be on the website. I assumed their reasoning would be because it was disturbing, but they pointed out that this is someone's funeral and we have no right to be posting these pictures, especially because they have no say in it. I totally agree with this. Although, these photos are extremely fascinating and really bring the image in your mind to life, it is not completely necessary for them to be there.
