Ground Burial, Masoleum or Cremation

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.

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

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.

We do that with you being alive Wix

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.

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.

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.

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?

Thank you to those that offered constructive information.

Ground Burial, Masoleum or Cremation

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?

Ground Burial, Masoleum or Cremation

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

Ground Burial, Masoleum or Cremation

My daughter and I have discussed how I will be buried. After all, it's not that far in the future that I will be biting the dust. And in fact, it can happen at any moment.

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.

Not only handsome but some really, really nice guys.

RE: ALL ABOUT KISSING

About 20 years ago I was about to experience a first kiss from a guy and when we locked lips, he knocked out my eye tooth. It didn't fall out while he was there cause I backed off after the first kiss.

When I went to the dentist he thought it was unusual until it happened the second time. That's when the dentist wanted to know what I was kissing.

I told the guy about it weeks later and he apologized. From then on the kisses were more lustful instead of attacking me

Your very welcome Harry

Tomb Of The Unknown Soldier

Conrad, thank you. I've seen the first two links.

I love the last one of the flag. Wish I knew how to copy it for my desktop wallpaper.

Tomb Of The Unknown Soldier

Are you serious??? I am really shocked.

Tomb Of The Unknown Soldier

I have always been a flag waver. It's just the way I am. I didn't learn it from family or school.

It's kinda corny but I believe that the American flag is beautiful. And so does everyone else believe that of their country's flag is beautiful.

I am loyal to the flag and to the military. That is why I did the thread on the movie "Taking Chance". The movie will open the eyes of those who question if we give our heroes respect.

And I hope that this link about the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier will open the eyes of those who only know that the Tomb exists but know nothing about it
