and that "hell" is the grave....why do JWs get buried?
Soul Sleep. JWs deny the immortality of the soul. They do not believe the soul can exist apart from the body, but that a corpse remains in an unconscious state in the grave waiting for the resurrection.
Annihilation of the Wicked. JWs teach that the "second death" is annihilation and extinction -- the wicked will cease to exist and will not suffer everlasting torment. They claim that a "doctrine of a burning hell" is "wholly unscriptural," "unreasonable," "contrary to God's love," and "repugnant to justice." [They claim that "hell" is the grave.

"Annihilation of the wicked" is a death metal album by the band NILE. It's quite accomplished.

There is nothing Scriptural or doctrinal that requires a deceased Jehovah's Witness to be buried. In fact, many are cremated according to local secular traditions and sanitary regulations.
