Hope these guys aren't discriminated against. Really went to their site seeking estate planning info on interfaith, semi- or non-Christian burial. The time will come and I don't wish to feed money to traditional venues.

I used to ask them to leave me out with the garbage. They balked. So now I asked them to cremate me, and make no mention of Heaven, Hell or God at my funeral. I will not die with my name associated with the Jude’s-Christian concept of death.
