Last week you may have caught a quick Minot Voice story about the future of funerals. They’re changing because what we want at that last ritual is changing. If that article didn’t convince you, here’s another: Washington has become the first state to legalize human composting. In other words, if you really want to push up daisies, your day in the dirt may be coming — and it may even be legal, too.

I have been doing a lot of reading about this and other alternative burial options. It's probably a long way off for ND, but hopefully there will be more options available by the time I kick the bucket.

Hi Emily, Thanks for sharing your thoughts. It's an emerging topic; make sure you catch up with next week's #GoodTalkMinot -- we're going to dig in deeper on things related to funerals and the surrounding rituals. Respectfully, Josh Wolsky
