True. People should care about todays world rather than pieces of meat that used to be people.

I would have to disagree. Since the beginning of mankind, people were buried after death, as a sign of respect and obviously to get rid of the bodies. In movies you may see that during times of war, bodies were piled into heaps and burned to prevent the spread of disease, but this was only done because there was no time to bury all the dead. Burial of bodies does not cause pollution nor does it create new diseases. A buried corpse is not toxic, instead it actually fertilizes the soil as the body decomposes. If that same corpse was left out in the open, then it would be a vector for bacteria to propagate and would infect other people but would still not affect the environment. While I agree that cremation would save time, space, and money, if we're talking about pollution and disease, the only thing I see impacting the earth in any way is the release of CO2 gas after cremation.

Burning is an oftion when you die, but most people think it is poluting the air, and making all the diseases go into the air. I personally don't know if this iis true but that is just what I know.
I wouldn't want to be burnt. I think it might be al ittle weird. Set me on fire then cover me in dirt so I can smolder and not burn, would be better.
And also they're finding new thinks to do with people. Like cremating and I know some people are startin to say they want to be made into something, like that guy whos remians were made into a frisbee at his wish.
(Just my opinion and hopefully some help.)

If someone dies of a contagious disease than I would absolutely agree with you. However, I believe a green burial without embalming or a casket is actually the best way to go.
When I go, it's either cremation or a green burial somewhere other than a cemetery.

well we have that choice now..called cremation and I am all for it because we are running out of land for earth burials and it does seem like a poor waste of precious lands HOWEVER, news flash.once dead, no one is spreading any germs to infect anyone anymore! LOLK

That's why we bury then 6 feet under. So the disease won't spread.

Burning things is SUCH a good idea. Let's burn trees to keep warm, burn rainforests so we can have more farmland , therefore using more agricultural chemicals, burn fossil fuels so we can drive one mile down the road to buy cigarettes, which we'll also burn, conveniently puffing out so that others can die from the second hand smoke, then after they cark it, we can burn them too. Who cares about a bit more smoke?
....Do I really have to explain irony?
