Ground Burial, Masoleum or Cremation (68)
In my area, there is a memorial service for cremation. (just as if you were in a casket, except with pictures of you) But you STILL have to be buried in the ground. Which makes absolutely no sense to me. They say it is illegal here to spread a person's ashes somewhere. So the one cremated is put in an urn, into a bucket, then buried. But the memorial services are really nice. In fact, nicer than the ones with caskets.
I believe I will be cremated.

THey burn and crush the bones while the body is burning in a place here. I am not sure how long the process takes, but my cousin was cremated. I want to be cremated too. And I told my kids they can do what they want with the ashes, seeing how I do not have to be buried. My stuff is all written out. Even with a note telling my siblings that my kids are doing what I asked.

If I don't crawl off into the woods like one of my cats... cremation is for me. Then just add me to my herb garden, right around the catnip.

I think people should be stuffed and used to sit in old police cars to make speeders slow down.
I think the gaurds at the Queens house are rilly stuffed in England......they never move!
You could place stuffed people in old folks homes and they could talk them to death and it wouldn't matter.
I vote for stuffed!!!

What would the authorities do if someone reported that someones ashes were being strewn on the ground?

I'm confused. If someone is going to be buried as ashes, why not bury them as a body?
When they are buried as ashes, isn't the gravesite the same size?

That I don't know. They say the urn is permanently sealed. Not sure if the urn itself is breakable or not.....

I kinda like the idea of being turned into a gemstone. Looked at some of the designs and colors. They're really rather attractive. They only use a portion of the remains after cremation for the carbon to produce the stones, but that's okay.

My co-worker passed away from cancer, a young 50-y-o man.
The memorial service was with him in a casket, but after memorial service (this same day) he was cremated.
What was a little odd to me, neither his wife nor his 2 daughters (27-y-o and 23-y-o) had teary eyes (or were crying) at any point during hours of the memorial service.
Probably already cried their eyes out... still.

Just sweep me under the rug and forget I was there.

Cremation is the way of our family. How nice of you to even consider freeing your daughter from a grave site.
Some crematories allow the families to be there while the cremation is being done.
They also let them push the button if needed.

Morning Laura.....In 2001 my father had COPD and was in a nursing home. It was a matter of time until he would die. For financial reasons I had to plan out his funeral and I know from that experience how expensive caskets are.
If a person is going to be creamated isn't it foolish to spend $5,000 on a casket when it is going to be turned into ashes?

Hi Rodo...I actually like the viking funeral. Can't remember the movie I saw it in, but I thought it was comforting when this little ship was on fire going out to sea with the sunset behind it.

All my family members are buried in the ground so I figured that would be the same for me. But my daughter says that she doesn't want to be attached to a gravesite.
She feels it is a waste of land space and that creamation is cleaner and I guess she has a point.
And she says that she doesn't need to look at a headstone to be reminded of how much she loves me, that her love is within her heart, so I have accepted her reasoning.
But I still haven't made the decision of what I want her to do with my body.
The thought of being cremated makes me uncomfortable to think of a fire all around me.
Does anyone know if the body turns to ashes from heat alone and not a fire?
Does anyone know if there is a ceremony for cremation.
Do loved ones sit there while the body is turning to ashes?
I would like to prepay my funeral so I need to make the decision of what I want it to be.
And I would like to be considerate of my daughter feelings.
I know nothing about cremation.
Your opinions and will be appreciated.
