Australia's Victoria state government has approved plans for the cemetery at Darlington, 200 km (125 miles) southwest of the Victorian capital Melbourne, where corpses will be buried vertically in body bags -- instead of caskets -- on grazing land. 'When you die, you are returned to the earth with a minimum of fuss and with no paraphernalia that would affect the environment,' a spokesman for Palacom, which will establish the cemetery, told Australian Associated Press on Thursday."
