Have you thought about what you want to happen to your body after you die? 

There's plenty of options for you, from cremation to burial, you can even become a tree if that's what you wish. 

China is now running out of land for cemeteries and turning to burials at sea - but just how environmentally friendly is this? 

In this episode of The Quicky, we take a look at the most environmentally efficient ways to deal with our earthly remains after we pass, while also not just shifting the eco damage somewhere else.
