A few years ago, we attended the National Funeral Directors Convention, in a piece we called “Rethink Your Final Resting Place.”

In that story, we showed you some of the alternatives that many men and women are choosing to a traditional burial.

Want to be sent to space? You can go to infinity and beyond!

Have a favorite sports team? Why not get a custom casket?
