Preparation for Death. Cremation or Burial?

[DimidoffVany]

Burials to me are more sincere to life, although my mom refused and rather be cremated like she is so I gave in. Death is an extremely sad subject matter and to the extent people take in preference to the after-life is never ignored.

I have family members both buried and cremated and prefer to let them decided on their own. I chose burial as a better alternative because equally wasn't there as well as the fact most relatives have been buried instead and chose it that way.

To death should be treated philosophically. Everyone has their own problems their troubles, and after death it will not. I'm not really afraid of death. I'm more afraid of the prospect of getting sick and to suffer to death.

Nothing is worse than death. Even if you suffer from horrible illnesses such as Ebola, cancer or tuberculosis, at least there is a glimmer of hope that it will get cured. But death is the end of all hope.

Death is inevitable, but so is hope!

I think that the opposite of death it is very easy. One moment and you have no problems. I can understand that death is afraid of some billionaire so he has no problems, why be afraid of you?

Ever since I turned 10 and realised I would die eventually, like everyone else, I chose cremation. Why? Because, first of all, cemeteries occupy way too much territory and I always thought it would be better to use these plots of land for more constructive and productive reasons e.g. for cultivating more cereals, fruit trees, vegetables etc. or/and for reforestation. Second of all, I believe in the circle of reincarnations and that is the main reason why I don't give a damn about my body (at least in such a fashion) and I'm not that attached to it to waste my time pondering how shall I preserve it and whether my ancestors will occasionally drop by my tombstone and leave posies of faded flowers. And I also conjecture that it's kind of more respectful to commit this precious vessel to the fire because the element fire is the purest element there is and I would rather see my body turned into a pile of ashes rather than rotting in a coffin and being devoured by these disgusting worms, bugs and other creepers. And besides I always wanted to be cremated either in a Viking fashion or under the pyre made by my closest and nearest friends.

Interesting how belief influence the way one wants to be disposed of. I enjoyed reading  your post.

As for my belief, when I am gone, it's not really that I am "gone" it will be a case of ceasing to exist what I believe. Therefore I would like natural processes of nature to take over my body. Also together with no casket, also nothing traditional in the sense of a gravestone or any of that. If the loved ones wants to, maybe just a little heap of ground to indicate the spot and maybe some marking to mark the spot, but definitely not a traditional permanent marble or granite gravestone. This way, the site will be re-usable within a few years, and the soil will be extensively richer in nutrients.

But I heard that after the cremation of the ashes you can make a cubic Zirconia. I kind of like the idea. Firstly it is not necessary to go to the cemetery, and secondly does not spoil the earth in the third house can keep the whole family. Beautiful eco-friendly and takes up little space.

I read that too but they call it a diamond, made from human ashes. Costs about 27K us per carat which is more then a real nice 1ct diamond would cost. The avg 1ct diamond goes for around 10k for a good one. vs-defgh so at 27k its crazy expensive.

Which one do you prefer? Burying your body or through cremation? For me, I choose Cremation. It is very cost effective. They will just cremate your body into ashes and you can chose whether by placing your ash into a container or scatter it anywhere. Unlike Burial, you will need a casket and even a lot to where they will bury your body. Justify your answers please

The national policy can only choose cremation. In fact, it does not matter to me, people have nothing to die, but also how to manage after death

Talking about suicide? Only cowards will prefer suicide. Those who lack the willpower to live, will end their lives in a second. But in my opinion, no one must commit suicide. Human life is more precious than anything else in this world.

Bullshit. You have to have balls of steel to knock yourself off. That aint easy and no coward is killing themselves.

No. Poison is readily available, and it only takes 5 seconds to kill yourself in a painless way. On the other hand, deciding to live takes a lot of courage. I have seen the determination to live from a lot of cancer patients, despite the extreme pain and suffering. They could end all that suffering in 5 seconds. But they are brave people and opt against it.

But what about euthanasia? There are also such people. I think that tormented not because they do not want to die, but because they are afraid of a nonexistent God. Suicide is not welcomed by the Church. I fear that Muslims in General soon as of euthanasia will use the attacks.

No man. even if the action happens quickly and painless you still need balls big ones to off yourself. Im sure of it.

Cremating yourself means that you are destroying important remains of you.

Yours bones will keep general information about you, including alimentary habits, health, but mostly your DNA.

Today, we can learn a lot about someone by studying his bones. In the future, people might even be cloned.

Cremating yourself means erasing the little that rests from you after death, if you didn't had children or didn't do anything relevant. It's like if you never existed.

I'm practicing hymns of praise, so that I will be able to praise God better, right from the start in Heaven.

More than a fear of death, these people are motivated by a will to live. They are fighters, and they want to fight and defeat the disease rather than surrender by committing suicide. God doesn't come to the picture very often, because I have seen this among atheists as well.

[noel2123]

Before I want cremation, but I realize my body will be in the fire.. NO WAY. But thinking also that your body will be six feet underground it gives me goosebumps. So its up to my family but I have only 1 request I want a eulogy when I die, I want to hear my family what I did for them just to make them happy and my friends who I laugh with. Its life, whether we like it or not we will reach our finish line.

Yes, now that you mention it, I guess something of who you once were, whilst still alive, remains longer than the rest of you and rests in the ground if you are buried in not to acidic soil type which would dissolve your bones quickly.

But I guess personal preferences can also be considered regarding this. Just what if it's exactly what he wants. To have no traces of him living on this planet.

For me i'll choose burial.. Becoz burial is one of the oldest form of proper disposal of dead body.. I want burial.. Because in burial.. Like nuff said. Your remain still intact  in the tomb where you buried.. At least there a proof that you'll exist in this world..

I kind of disagree with what you said there that your remains will remain intact dude, The proof you're looking for won't be found where you're buried but with how you lived your life. Your tomb would only be as good as the encryptions in stone. For me it's the same. Whether you're buried or cremated, your existence and remembrance will be judged by how you lived your life.

Perhaps it's just a reference. Or maybe an opportunity to answer if you are as if the one who's about to be there. I've thought of this and now it's getting popular in the social media. But I have always thought of being planted as a tree. So for me cremation is more fun.
