Maybe their earlier decision to go along with this changed the rules in the spirit world and stopped them from a restful peace in death...

Riiiiight. Makes total sense.

Another thing about the intent to use human dead bodies as fertilizer is quite demeaning in nature. Even if the parties involved don't feel this way, it still has a negativity associated with it, even if you don't see it that way, or even care about that.
the spirits of the dead may care a lot.
You won't know for sure until after you die
I'm sure there are some really big surprises on the other side.

But pumping them full of toxic chemicals, sticking them in a box inside a concrete liner and then covering that all up with dirt is so much less demeaning?

Really?

Even then, you may or may not know...

You're sure, huh? If there is another side...

That's so they can look their best when they rise from the grave (you know, when Jesus comes home).
I know for certain there is a spirit world. I have astral projected and seen it and experienced it. I have been yanked out of bed before by a spirit. I have seen a piano play by itself in an old church. Lots of experiences.
Personally I could care less what you believe.

There may not be an afterlife or there might be. . . what I DO know is that the idea of eating veggies grown out of people-soil is stomach-churning.
Yeah, probably doing it anyway, but ew.
C'mon.

There's another idea someone has come up with. The website is called The living urn. A process that has been thought of growing a tree or plant from a dead relatives ashes
www.thelivingurn.com...
A copy and paste from their main page:
How Does It Work?
We've spent years working with leading soil scientists and arborists to develop the most advanced Bio Urn and Planting System on the market today. The patent pending Living Urn® is complex in its design, but it's simple and easy to use. Place your loved one's cremated remains in the BioUrn® and add our proprietary RootProtect™ ash neutralizing agent on top. Next, lower the tree seedling roots into our special BioUrn®, add our premium growth mix, and plant it in the ground. A beautiful, enduring living memorial will then grow up from the urn and the cremated remains to keep your loved one's memory present in your life!

We're guys, we eat food off the ground and I know you're more like a 60 second rule person as opposed to 5.

If it was your enormous misshapen coconut I would so buy it because it makes Joseph Merrick's skull look purty by comparison.
