We'll just let Gregr explain, because he's got a real way with words on this topic.

"If you think using fish guts for fertilizer is weird... following on the heels of Washington state, California is kicking around the idea of human composting," Gregr tells us. "They're now weighing out the option to allow human corpses to skip the incinerator or being stuffed in a box and buried in the ground -- to instead be tumbled into what is about two wheelbarrows full of pretty great soil."

Of course, Gregr has a couple of other ideas for ways we could deal with the deceased that would also give them back to the Earth, without being all weird about it. Like sharks -- and volcanos. Check out the video above.
