Everybody will have their own thoughts obviously but I quite like the idea really if nothing more than because I quite like the thought of my remains spending their final days in such a construct.
It is a bit of a gimmick but then does there have to be any meaning or connection to the past behind it?
Ok they're building it for the profit but then they certainly aren't going to do it just to break even are they?
I suppose I woud draw the line if it became too commercialised and everybody was building them so they became common place.
But I suppose that is Just my simple outlook on life, live and let live and all that.

Well, I suppose thats my point too in a way. If there is no meaning or connection to the past, why build a copy of a Neolithic long barrow? Why would somebody long to be interred in a structure that has no meaning beyond 'it looks vaguely like a long barrow'?

I must stress I really do mean no offence at all to those involved or interested, and it is horses for courses, live & let live etc but, I don't know, as much as I believe in peoples right to choose I also feel in someway a bit sad about this, its a bit distasteful/cheapening in some way.

I'm probably being too over sensitive about it.
