Do you want to be buried or cremated?

Question

I think I want cremation, but I'll save my reasons for after your answers.

Answer 1

Well personally, I want whatever is cheapest for my family. My body is dead, so throw it off a cliff or something. (Well, of course something legal). The less financial impact on my grieving family the better.

I am a donor, so after they take what they need, I guess I can be donated to science. LOL.

Answer 2

Buiried
In the Bible cremation is portrayed only as an exceptional method of disposing of bodies. Most often cremation took place in the midst of unusual circumstances. For example, in 1 Samuel 31:12 we read about the men of Jabesh-Gilead who burned the corpses of Saul and his sons in order to prevent desecration of their bodies at the hands of the philistines.
We don't find cremation mentioned in the New Testament. Burial is the normal method. Moreover, the church fathers preferred "the ancient and better custom of burying in the earth."
However, there is no actual prohibition against cremation in the pages of Scripture. And if a Christian does get cremated, this poses no problem for God in resurrecting that person's body from the dead (1Cor 15:42-44).
We read in 2 Cor 5:1, "Now we know that if the earthly tent we live in is destroyed, we have a building from God, an eternal house in heaven, not built by human hands." It does not matter how our "earthly tent" (body) is destroyed; all that matters is that God will raise it from the dead. Even those who are buiried eventually dissolve into dust and bones. So regardless of whether we're buried or cremated, we can all look forward to a permanent resurrection body that will never be subject to death and decay.

Answer 3

Cremation.

Answer 4

I would like to be cremated, because the body is supposed to be turned back into dust and I think there's nothing wrong with that happening sooner rather than later.

Answer 5

Cremated. That way I'll save room for eveyone who loves to waste the room of other dead people.

Answer 6

When I'm dead, I won't care about anything; I will be done with this body. I will be gone.

So, the cheapest thing (cremation) would be best. Why should anyone waste any money on a lifeless bunch of stuff?

Answer 7

After some research, i definately want to be cremated. The process of embalming and then what happens to you body after you are buried is disgusting. Especially in wet climates such as the USA and England....etc.. If you really want to know what happens to you, you turn into a big fat block of soap - called Grave Wax. Its absolutely disgusting, and i dont really want to be dug up 100 years after my death and look like a big wax mummy. If you dont believe me, look up "Adipocere" or "Grave Wax", and you will see what im talking about. YUK...

Answer 8

I want to be cremated and then made into a reef! There is a company out there that will take your ashes, mix them with a glue and form you into a part of a reef out in the ocean. Here is a link...

Answer 10

Cremated. I am afraid of the dark and don't like the idea of being in a casket six feet under. According to christians I'm going to burn in hell anyway. ;)
