Okay, excellent. This is all good to know. Thank you for the info (and for taking me seriously).
Was just spitballing some funeral plans with Rory, making sure there wouldn't be a negative impact on the environment (I told him to throw me in the trash, he suggested compost, it spiralled from there).
I'm not planning on dying anytime soon, but I reckon it's best to be prepared, especially in this line of work.
It's very responsible to consider your funeral preferences earlier rather than later. If you like, I have some paperwork I can send you to fill out regarding your death plan. In it you can express your preferred method of [...]corpse disposal burial, including composting. Alongside other more personal, sentimental aspects. Then we can put it on file in case of a tragedy.
Going over it with Rory could be an exciting afternoon.

I'm always willing to answer strange questions. And what we talk about will always remain between us.
It's not always comfortable to examine, but I think it can bring a unique sort of peace and comfort. The knowledge that if the worst happens, your loved ones know what you wanted.
Oh, that. I'm alive, nothing was seriously damaged, none of our research was lost. No one suffered critical injuries. Honestly, I'm amazed by our luck.

How are you, by the way? Hanging in there after the whole mole debacle?

That's good. Maybe we should spray some Dawn dish soap and castor oil down the hole so they don't come back.
