The tables are turned Normally, I am the one that brings up something disgusting I've read when talking to my wife.→[More:]
Now that she has been studying green funeral practices, she can rattle off details of embalming and funeral practices that make me want to eat more just so I can hurl even more violently.

Does she work in the funeral industry? You mentioned green burial as a "hobby" in the other thread, but I can't imagine how one gets access to dead bodies at the hobby level.

Our wacky and cool neighbor is the Utah green funeral person, so she is just reading a lot about it and starting to do some activism. My hobby is european boardgames, so I can't talk.

Basically, it is illegal to bury your own dead in Utah. It's a big, expensive scam.

Yeah, I was wondering the same. It sounds fascinating, though not something I'd be into
