Ashes to ashes...
Ashes to ashes... to a lump of semi-burned remains. After reading what the cremation process involves, I'm disputing what we are/were taught to believe. It's not so easy.I think bible experts have different thoughts about this, but a burned body leaves a lump. Teeth don't turn to dust. Most of the bones and remains have to be crushed by special machines.
If they had cremation chambers thousands of years ago, I'm sure they weren't fueled to 2,000 degrees Fahrenheit like the ones we have today. Not close.
Two years ago, a coworker died unexpectedly. He was in his 40's. We are coming up on the anniversary of his passing and I'll be asking the other workers/friends to get together to celebrate his life. He was cremated and his ashes were sprinkled over the land he owned in the middle of the state were he often used as a weekend retreat.
I didn't forget.

PersonalIy, I think I'd prefer to save a chunk in liquid nitrogen for future cloning purposes, donate the organs for human transplants,
and feed the gators & turtles with the rest.
