this is a poll..which do you prefer to practice when you die, cremation or just simply buried in the ground?

Question

why and why not..thanks

Answer 1

I live in the bush ,or the outback (the country), for you USA people, and I will be buried.. My plot is paid for and I have a 99 year lease on it, as of when I die.. I am to have a Pagan burial with the silver coins placed over my eyes.. I will be buried in my ritual robes and wearing all my ritual jewellery.. My ritual tools and Book of Shadows will also be Buried with me.. Lastly I will have to choose which "battle ready" sword and dagger's accompanies me..These are fair dinkim weapons not show pieces or replica toys.. I have quite a collection.. So as you can see I could not possibly be cremated as I will be buried in a similar fashion to that of our long dead ancestors.. Love and Light.. Blessed Be.. )O(

Answer 2

Personally I prefer to be buried in the ground. I don't like the idea of cremation just because of the idea of being on fire even though I know I won't really be there or feel it. It gives me the "creeps" so to speak. Plus, I like the idea of "resting" and having a physical place my family can come to in their adjustment period of grieving. Just a personal preference.

Answer 3

Easy...cremation.
Many of the other answers were correct & legit - like cost, returning to dust from whence we were created, etc.
But for me also, I do NOT wish to be buried into the soil that mankind has polluted. After the floods came in Georgia a few yrs ago, & all the bodies came up. The families realized the cemetary dude wasn't even putting people where they belonged.... so their rotting corpses were there for all to see.
WHAT KIND of PEACE is that for the families ? All for $$$ & greed. If that is how it will be, give me 6 grenades to strap on each body part.... so I can go out with a BANG.

Answer 4

After lack of life what's in our palms? Why hassle for what's previous ones administration. In HInduism the body is burned so as that each one 5 gross factors flow again to their respective factors. The ash or the carbons or the hydro carbons will develop into the food for the flora. The worms could devour the body in person-friendly words even as the spirit in the body isn't waiting for its very last journey, which forever means the 5 factors gained't connect with the 5 respective factors i.e. Ether, Air, fireplace, Water and Earth. In this kind of scenario even as in person-friendly words 4 factors will connect again and the fifth has to really transmigrate as soul, the body won't be able to be burned. it really is the reason why a body of someone who died unnatural and premature deaths by way of injuries, homicide, at youthful a even as by way of epidemics and so on. at the instantaneous are not burned yet buried to develop into one with Earth in person-friendly words.

Answer 5

Buried in the ground

Answer 6

Cremation. Takes up less space. Costs less. The most important part of the body is gone then anyway.

Answer 7

I am Jewish; I would want to be buried in the traditional Jewish manner - plain wooden casket, no metal fittings, simple burial shroud, no embalming. I would hope that any organs I have that could be used to help someone else would be harvested; after that, I have no need of my body, and it should return to the earth, to decompose and be part of the cycle all over again.

Answer 8

Creamation. Preferably in the manner of an old fashioned funeral pyre with all my freinds hanging around drinking and telling stories ( roasting marshmellows in the flames for the kids) .

Answer 9

Cremation. I don't like the thought of maggots feasting on my organs.

Answer 10

buried in the ground because we were made from the earth therefore to the earth we shall return
