Ground Burial, Masoleum or Cremation (68)
rodolphoamsterdam, North Holland Netherlands30 Threads 3,401 PostsSnuggs09: 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.
yep but you really dont wanna know what viking leaders did before that, or do you?

NAKEDMUDPEOPLE: Let the arrest my ashes.
The crematorium just needs an address to send the ashes to. My parents and one brother are at the ranch under a tree.
You can spend lots of money on a urn or they will send your ashes in a plastic box.

"If it were up to me,I'd want
to be cremated and for my ashes
to be scattered where my grandparents
passed...out on the land.
Where I live,there aren't any funeral
homes;our people who have passed on
are buried at the local cemetary."

rodolpho: Nope we got s spot for 3 bodies but in ashes we can put the whole family in
You used a laughing emote so I don't know if if you're joking.
My family had a plot that would bury four bodies in one grave.
The headstone had my parents and grandparents name on it with their birthdate and if they were dead, it had that date. But my parents didn't have a deceased date and that was weird. It was like the headstone was waiting for them to die. Now all the dates are complete.
Back in those days you could bury one body on top of another so my father, mother, and grandparents are all buried in the same grave, in separate caskets.
That is now against the law.

I do but I don't think you should post it out of respect for others in the thread. I can read about it if I want to know.

If I decide on creamation there are two places I would want to be scattered. One is out on the land where the true indians once lived, or, down the shore where my daughter and I spent many summer vacations at Lavellete Beach.

My burial is against the law anyway.But to hell with the law, I will do it in international waters.Ive broken the law before,so I'll do it again then and if theres an afterlife I will break some rules again for sure...
I wont laugh just grin this time round outta respect for you.
And all my friends will get stupid drunk that day and laugh there asses off about my frolics.Thats the way I wanna go.To each his own.
I like a new orleans burial too btw,the music I mean.

"I want to be cremated;I just feel that my
body will live on if scattered out on
the land,where the animals roam freely
and live freely.Maybe in some sense I
too will remain free as the animals do.
I hope you all understand where I'm
coming from."

My friend's son passed. She had the cremation. She also had a small locket of his ashes, to be with always.------ This thread is Archived ------
Cremation is OK, but you do get a warning on the cremation urn in Britain NOT to through the ashes out into nature, because they don't want you causing serious pollution to the nature from the highly toxic mercury that's been packed into everyone's MOUTH for all those years...
Personally, I prefer the North American Indian way of leaving the bodies up on a wooden framework for the birds to peck at. At least THAT way you're out under the beautiful stars and not buried in some claustrophobic box covered in maggots.
As for the "viking" way, the wives of those guys had to be burned alive with them when they were cremated in their ships that were set ablaze (but I wonder if the guys had to be burned together with their wives when THEY died...? Somehow I think not...).

You can laugh all you want....I need laughter in my life. I like to smile.
I have a problem knowing when people are joking around.
That's probably because I don't know that person well.
That is a good point about New Orleansl. Everybody gets dressed up, they walk down the street with the death march. Sometimes the body is in a horse drawn carriage that sits high above the ground.
People in the south don't wear black to funerals. I think its becaue they see death as a joyous event. With the way the world is going, I guess it could be joyous to get out of this mess.
So make me laugh Rodo

I agree the American Indian way is intersting. They raise the body high on a simple platform to the Gods. It is a very serious ceremony.
In the movie "Jerimiah Johnson" he was traveling in indian territory with the army. Jerimiah new it was forbidden to travel through burial land but the army insisted on it. When Jerimiah got back to his cabin his wife and son had been killed and the house burned to the ground.

We have kind of a general rule in our families,since we dont have many reunions no more.We only see eachother on weddings and funerals.We pay respect in a decent matter at the burial and afterwards we reminice and laugh about all the good memories the diceased gave us.If you believe in an afterlife its just a transition.If you dont like me its a celebration of a good life.

Someone else made a point about the body being toxic. Is that a good idea for her to carry around his ashes in a locket. No disrespect to her cause being a mother I understand.
If my daughter died I would want a gravesite to go to but since she wants to be cremated, all I will have are memories and photos.

CONGRATULATIONS....
I don't have any grandchildren 
and never will because my daughter married a man 11 years older than her. He has three grown children and didn't want to do the diaper thing again.

You can keep the urn with you at all times if you choose. The locket is a sealed with the ashes.If my daughter died I would want a gravesite to go to but since she wants to be cremated, all I will have are memories and photos.
