[umairsaleem011]

Thats so cool. Im going to try playing with it and see if I can freak some people out. Like send them a messing as im driving and their sitting next to me. Cool stuff and fun times ahead im sure. Thanks dude.

I prefer burrying my dead body than burning it till it turns to ashes. I dont want to be in a jar and keep by my family in their drawer. Lol. I dont wanna be a decoration.
I think also cremation is more expensive than traditional burial. Burrying my body means a lot  to me. Thats my family tradition.

Cremation is always better, especially in urban areas where we are rapidly running out of space. Burial requires a huge amount of space, and this space can't be used for any productive activity in the future.

You should come to my country and for a good sense in the heads of the people of my country.

Every year we have seen family fights. The reason for the fight? Land dispute to bury their relatives, the cemeteries are filled to the point that people are buried over others.


I prefer to be cremated and the ashes can spread wherever they want, that way no one will have to leave their important things to be taking care of my grave

When nuclear war comes, there will be a lot of folks who will be cremated without being ready for it. Even many of the already dead ones, who are buried in above ground mausoleums will be cremated. Of course, they won't know it either.

I prefer burial since somebody told me that in the 2nd coming all will be risen up again but  if you are already cremated they say that resurrection is not possible.

The second coming and the resurrection of the dead will not occur like a magic that all will go back up again but possibly it will be done through technology. Our DNA will be taken from our bones and will be used for cell regeneration. So if I am cremated my substance will turn into soil thus my DNA signatures will become dust thus resurrection is no longer possible.

This is not an absolute truth, but what if it is true, it is better to play safe than to suffer in the end.

It is not a proper cremation. In a proper cremation, the flesh and the bones are reduced to ashes. But in case of a nuclear war, you will be left with half-burnt bodies (check the photographs taken after the nuclear attack in Hiroshima and Nagasaki).

I'd choose cremation and here's why. A typical cemetery allows you to buy the spot only for a certain amount of years (like 50) and then someone has to come and pay again. If your family dies or nobody remembers about it, after a 100 years your grave might be removed and the spot sold to someone else. Cremation doesn't give you some false hope about your name being carved in stone for eternity. You know what's going to happen and it's much easier and cheaper to store ashes.

Cremation. Not because it's cheaper. Just hate the idea of rotting, feeding bugs.

"it is far better to nourish worms than to live without love." not sure where I've heard this but yeah having someone something make used of your mess is heroic at some point.  like i said I'd rather feed myself to crocs when i've dead. dead bodies by the way feel nothing.

I would prefer cremation because your loved ones can save money and time also unlike the burrial they are still need to buy a lot and coffin for you and its very hassle to them if they want to visit you.

I'd prefer being cremated and then my ashes given in small vials to my loved ones for remembrance. Let's face it, cremation is a lot cheaper than burial in any way. You don't need to have a lot in the cemetery, which is pretty expensive nowadays. And imagining my remains being eaten slowly by worms doesn't really sit well with me.

Just the idea of your corpse rotting, feeding bugs and helping the living creatures, returning your body to the earth should be enough to get you burried.

[Gimpeline]

Feed the corpse to the dogs or whatever you like. Its not like I will need it if I am dead.
Only request I have (and I have it in my testament) is that they play this song and that the priest joins in the singing https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0CFuCYNx-1g

cremation all day long. i got roped into making some space in a mausoleum the other day. there were bits of meat left after multiple decades. i don't fancy that happening to me. i want a nice neat erasure. there's food for the worms elsewhere.

Which one will be better for remembrance? A vial of your ash, or a marble plaque on the cemetery? Most of the people would chose the latter option, but I would go for the first one.

I prefer cremation. It's cheaper than burial, because there are no need to buy expensive casket. And I don't want that my body after dead would rot underground and vould be eaten by vermins. But in my country tradition of burial is still very strong.

Yes, burial needs land, land is very expensive in my country. I don't want to spend a large sum of money to settle a body without a soul.

There will never be a nuclear war. Don't be crazy fella. None of the super powers with nukes would ever be so stupid as to start a nucular war.

On top of that, there is no guarantee that the burial grounds will remain intact in the long-term future. For various urban development projects, sometimes even the well established burial grounds are either relocated or destroyed.

With the rising cost of funeral expenses today, many people are choosing cremation instead of buria

[yoseph]

It doesnt really matter am already gone. They can feed me to the sharks if they dont but if they dont treat my body with respect i will come back and haunt them.
