Discussion cremation is terrifying

[Ghost2211]

Honestly if you think about it anything they do with your body would be terrifying and horrific if you were alive. Fortunately we will not be alive when these things happen, and as such I could not care less what they do with my body. To be very honest I'm probably going to try to get it donated to science.

Burn me, slice and dice me, bury me like a turd, eat me, run me over, launch me into space. I honestly don't give a shit once I'm dead.

Thank you, @Underscore — I love this! The roots-up stump at Seahenge wasn't a whole tree, but I have read about (haven't I?) entire trees buried with branches underground and roots reaching for the sky? I get shuddery just thinking about it — all that work, clearly with some meaning, but what??

In shithole where I live you can't even be cremated yet. They are building a crematorium now but I will probably die before it is finished.

I'm not sure I'll have to look into it. Homework for tomorrow!
Meanwhile I'll repost the as above so below Tree of Life cus I think it's lovely.

Hi. Why are you afraid of what happens to your body if you won't be here anymore?

well it's simply because we don't know maybe a part of you might still be in your cadaver

I am not bothered by it because I would be dead. I know my family will not cremate me as my other relatives received open casket funerals.

I want to be cremated. My husband is also cremated last month. Why? Because he wanted to go home, where he belongs. I can take him everywhere I want to.. And when I die, my ashes can go with his.

I believe his soul left his body the moment he passed away. Some souls are waiting to cross over to stay with the family, beloved ones and to see who is at the funeral. The souls from people who were sick can cross over immidiately if they want.

Thing is that I actually wan't to be cremated when I die. I prefer to have my remains reduced to ashes and scattered back into the earth over lying in the ground in a casket.
