Missouri could be first state to allow outdoor cremations
A bill dubbed the "Jedi Disposal Act" could soon make Missouri the first state to allow outdoor cremations.
The bill would allow licensed funeral directors to organize outdoor cremations at licensed crematoriums or private sites that have permits, The Kansas City Star reported. The bill got its name from the "Star Wars" movie franchise, in which two Jedi Knights are cremated in public ceremonies.

The bill passed with nearly unanimous consent in this year's legislative session and is awaiting Gov. Mike Parson's decision on whether to sign it.
Sen. Jason Holsman, a Kansas City Democrat, said he proposed the measure in part because outdoor cremations have been performed "since the dawn of man."

Sweet, I'd be down for that.
Oh, and in before "only pagans get cremated!!!"

Cremations outside in Viking ships or inside in brick ovens -- count me "not a fan." On the practical side, I would guess the liability might make these cost more.
You can burn bodies, just not leaves! Makes me wonder what would happen to cremations here during times that our commissioners vote in a burn ban??

I'll just have to plan mine on an odd numbered day, that's when I run my sprinklers.

I'm going to be stuffed, wearing a g-string and displayed at my alma mater (to one up those stained glass windows).

Preferably I could have a tomb and ossuary, but alas it's just to humid around here.

No, but burning human meat smells like burning beef.

Human bodies out of calories and burning their own muscle and organs smells like a sweet sausage cooking.
