Raise dead ... on a horse?

[MerakSpielman]

I am pretty sure if I got cut down and rendered into logs, theres no way I'd be coming back from...err...tree heaven?

If you could cast Speak With Dead and Speak With Plants you could ask it if it wants to come back... but if that doesn't work I guess you'd have to use True Ressurrection. This is getting to need to be some freaking valuable wood.

Or a very bored, rich cleric/druid.
