    Burried or cremation?

    I've watched " British Way of Death" last night and I had nightmare sleep.
    They asked people what to choose, cremation or burried? They showed the bones after first cremation and cremated for the 2nd time to become ashes?
    We have seldom cremation in Pinas and this is my first time to watch how to cremate. When I fast asleep, I couldn't move my body and I couldn't hear my words while talking. Thanks I was able to wake up and drink water.
    It was nightmare sleep
    I hate horror movies

    Which will you choose, cremation or burried?

    I thought the normal way for Italians was being buried in foundations!

    I already have a plot at Anfield cemetery!

    Cheery post could be worse,I once visited the worlds largest open air crematorium,the burning ghats on the banks of the Ganges,I was a kid so the sight didnt register/phase me one iota but now that mortality is occassionally a fleeting thought I do wonder would I rather have flames licking at my face than maggots
    Back in the early 1990's I saw a sky burial on the Tibetan plateau and always wanted to visit the fabled badjao isla muerte where the corpses are laid out on a white spit of sand in the south china sea to decompose but I never got the opportunity to do that,get burnt pen gas mark 6 for 45 minutes,done to a crisp,then you can rise phoenix like from the ashes



    Sometimes you're flush and sometimes you're bust, and when you're up, it's never as good as it seems, and when you're down, you never think you'll be up again. But life goes on.
    The beauty of a woman is not in the clothes she wears, the figure that she carries, or the way she combs her hair. The beauty of a woman is seen in her eyes, because that is the doorway to her heart, the place where love resides. True beauty in a woman is reflected in her soul. It's the passion that she shows to the outside world.

    They do space burials nowadays,or turn your corpse into a diamond

    Most of my immediate relatives ... including my late first wife ... opted for cremation in recent years. But, to be honest, I cannot quite make up MY mind ... all the more so since this practice is extremely uncommon in the Phils, and I am now married to a Filipina.

    At the age of sixty-five, I'm becoming ever-more conscious of my [fairly] "imminent" mortality - yet the thought of what will happen to me after my death scares me, as I do not like the very notion of either of the customary methods used for the body's disposal.

    Cryogenics? (as mentioned by Pumpkins) ... now there's an !

    True ... ! But even so, the mere prospect of the average human ... who, in all likelihood, has spent 80, 90 - or [if he/she is lucky!] - one hundred years on this planet ... being reduced to ashes in around 2 hours, is horrifying!

    I guess there's no real pleasant way of disposing of a corpse. Whatever happened to good old fashioned mummification anyway?

    If you mean cryogenics, then the statement in your second post would defeat the objective of the exercise, I reckon....

    I would not want that thing that has recently appeared. Plastination is a controversial subject, but fascinating as well. What is your view? The body world exhibition is still doing the rounds and proves popular for educating people on the human body. Not sure I'd want my dead body in it.
