I reject cremation! Cremation of one body requires the energy it takes to drive a car thousands of miles. I reject embalming! Embalming is an expensive, unnecessary use of poison chemicals. Cooling the body with no embalming can delay burial to two or three days after death. This summer, I bought a plot at San Jose de Armijo Cemetery on Aremal, west of Coors — the only real estate I have bought in my nearly 73 years! San Jose de Armijo is a beautiful, dirt cemetery — much cheaper than most large grass cemeteries here. Why waste water in this desert to grow grass in cemeteries? No vault, no lines are required at San Jose de Armijo. I made my coffin out of ½” plywood. I spent about $60. Why waste thousands of dollars on a luxury box and a fancy funeral for my dead body when millions of children worldwide suffer from hunger and cold with no home?I very much want to be reunited with all my loved ones in a better world beyond death, but I strongly doubt that happens. Wanting something deeply does not make it so. I encourage all to come to the Marigold Day of the Dead parade Sunday, Nov. 4 at 2 p.m. on Isleta, south of Arenal S.W.Don Schrader or tags on article template page.
