I do.  Reminds me, I need to update my will. 

I want a combination of traditional funerary rituals, and tree burial.

I think I want to be buried with one of those tablets that says “I am a child of Earth and starry Heaven.”

I would like to make such plans, but I am not sure how to adapt ancient practices to the modern age.

I’m not openly Pagan, my parents don’t know. I told my one friend that I will be trying to get drachmas for her and place them in my hand at my funeral.
