8 Designs That Rethink the Way We're Buried

I like the idea of planting a tree on the grave. The longer a person is dead, the bigger their tree grows. Who knows? Maybe something of their essence will pass into the tree? Sort of reminds me of book 2 in the Ender Saga.

IF it's all the same to you, I think I'll stick with a traditional burial plot and head stone. I'm not too fond of these 'new-fangled' burial methods.

Some of them do look pretty interesting, though. I like the tomb stones with the prisom in them that projects a rainbow.

I like the tree one and I like the floating one that sinks to the bottom of The ocean, those are both pretty cool

Some of those are pretty cool. Also Nevermore I loved the Ender series(and the parallel Shadow series) though none were ever as good as the first.

To be honest there were some many rumors in the past of a movie I stopped paying attention so I didn't even know they were actually making one! I'll go see it but since Ender's Game is one of my favorite books ever I'm skeptical.

The shots look pretty good I'll read the article when I'm at work but I'm reminded of this quote from the author:

"Ender's Game is an '"unfilmable" book, not because of too much violence but because everything takes place in Ender's head." — Orson Scott Card
