This is becoming more and more popular in the United States. There is a greater awareness of land use, etc...and really, when you think about it, isn't burying in the ground rather wasteful for future generations? jmo
EXRED3: ah but you will save money if you arrange before you pop your clogs so to speak
I will be happy spending the money before I go...isn't that the way you should look at it...live life and then that's it...you can't take it with you...
Cremation isn't recommended because the bones cause the spirit somehow to remember certain aspects to incarnate nearby and this may effect loved ones by readjusting their future.
One's death is a fact of life, and there are many possibilities for our next life, and the future Earth that we create is our inheritance. This applies to all terrestrials that have not left orbit (we incarnate on the same planet we die on). We all want a positive future, and the future is written on how closely we can follow the recommendations. The only differentiation is there are those who already realize this, and those who have not learned it yet.
Since personalities (that which makes a person and individual with a certain name and thinking etc.) never incarnate again, but are dissolved after death; there are various irrelevances such as for example it is not relevant whether two spirit forms (or rather the connected personalities) have been in some interaction in former existences. Relationships, marriages and parent-child relations in this life are entirely non-relevant in future lives because each life has to deal with new people, relationships and circumstances.
It's the spirit-form and the overall-consciousness block and comprehensive consciousness block (Gesamtbewusstseinsblock) that enters the Beyond.
After the end of one’s life the personality is dissolved before an entirely new one is built up. The gender is determined by genetics alone.
We don't need an explanation about what happens to the actual body itself after death because this is well understood already as nature, it decays and rots, goes through the process of disappearing by insects and exposure to weather, corrosion, decay etc. Not dissimilar to any animal, creature, but we tend to bury or have some other process depending on the culture, including event/ceremony, for our deceased. What is important is that something tasteful and respectful occurs.
My parents asked to be cremated. They were devout Catholics and the church said it was ok. I followed their wishes. Cost didn't matter but it was a significant savings compared to a burial.

If you are not a believer?...what does it matter...

All good then...most suggest if you want...donate to a charity or organization of your choice...
Well, from a human standpoint one would maybe think that raising you from your grave is easier to do for God, than from ashes. However, I think he can do it. If his son can walk on water and make one fish into more than a basket full this should be of little trouble (as a christian, and in my view).
Besides I knew a guy who worked on a graveyard. When the bones have been there a certain amount of time, they are dug up again he said.... with an excavator. dunnu if true

I have taken so much from other forms of life to have energy to sustain my own life that I want to give back. So, my plan is to be buried with a tree planted in me.

My mother died two years ago and my sisters had her cremated. Apparently the difference in funeral costs is like £1000 for cremation to £7000 for a burial

It is cost effective and less of a burden to the living...a good way to go... Sorry for your loss...

Other cultures in the old days used to burn the deceased on a pile of wood. My brother was cremated as yes it was all my parents could afford at the time. Last year my mother died and before she did she said she wanted to be cremated as well. It cost around $10,000. But most of that cost went to other things like, flowers, cards, casket, church service, and newspaper advertisements etc.
Burials you end up also having to pay for the residence of the grave site. I don’t know what happens if you don’t pay it? Plus headstones are very expensive as well. As far as I assume and feel that one’s soul leaves once you have passed away, it’s just a unused shell now.
