It's an interesting idea. It is somewhat susteinable since it allows one to preserve nature, conserving the wood that would be used to make a coffin. Also, with the sprouting of the seed, I get the idea that death generated life, and it is a confortable idea for me.

It is a good solution to environmental improvement: since it doesn't use wood, there is a reduction of deforestation. And it gives us the idea that death is not the end.
