"The Swaledale casket is made using pure virgin wool, supported on a strong recycled fibreboard frame. Wool is a fiber with a true "green" lineage that is both sustainable and biodegradable. The interior is generously lined with cotton and attractively edged in jute.
Independently tested and accredited for strength and weight bearing, the Swaledale's unique design combines the highest environmental standards with an attractive and soft feel. Designed to differ from the traditional wooden casket, it offers a contemporary style with comfortable handling. The concept is completed with a personalized embroidered woolen name plate. All the materials used in the Swaledale casket are readily biodegradable and suitable for cremation and all types of burial."
I don't think it's actually knitted, but may be the closest thing. Actually, I'd really just like to be wrapped in a blanket and buried in a "green cemetery" but a nice bit of wool wouldn't hurt my feelings at all. I'll try to knit a shroud before I kick the bucket so that no survivor has to knit on on #50 needles using 8 strands of Wool Ease Thick n Quick. :-)

I plan on ordering the Origami Silk Box from Costco - online of course!
I have been planning my funeral for years, glad you are joining in. Some decisions you cannot leave up to your family!!
hurray for rice krispie treats!
sounds like us old farts have it all worked out, you younger girls are lucky we are so well organized. I am not as far along as food planning, it won't be Rice Krispie Treats or Kettle Korn tho. Multi-grain bagels with extra-sharp cheddar cheese, my signature breakfast for the last 20 years maybe?
This family...
seriously, I was way too young to get married. I definitely needed better counseling before I walked into this. :-)
Kip wants to be stuffed so he can continue to hang out with everyone.
oh Lis, you should have known, Kip must have been sounding out crazy vibes. AND this makes hugging seem like a benign activity, so that's a plus for you :-)
Don't worry Lis, it wasn't your fault - we hide the crazy pretty well, so you couldn't have known what you were getting yourself into. Although the thought of having Kip "hanging around" forever seems pretty frightening.
we could put those roller shoes on him and implant a remote so he could follow you wherever you go - just not hug so much . . .
lol, I don't think he should be allowed to hug AT ALL. Lis had to put up with that in this life, she deserves a break after he kicks the bucket.
