If you have a relative or a good friend who was an artist and has recently passed on, there are several different ways that you can honor the artist in them, even in their death.

If these resources were left out of a burial, there would be less of a demand for them, meaning less energy used in their production. Cemeteries take up large expanses of land that are then maintained with pesticides and herbicides. This destroys the homes for the natural wildlife in the area.
