Nah, more like rented their place until they could give back to the earth with the ultimate sacrifice.

Isn’t that what we all do though?

Humans are bizarrely fond of stuffing their dead with preservatives, hermetically sealing them in a box, and/or incinerating them. Like, it's our last chance to give a little bit back to nature, but nope.

That just delays things ultimately

With all the crap we put in ourselves it's a good thing we slow down that process, like the casing of a slow action pill

How's incinerating bad? Unless you're keeping the leftovers I guess
