Burial or cremation and why
What are you guys opinion on the subject?
-
I used to be stuck on earth burial, because every place in the Bible, where someone is being buried, they are being buried in the earth, or a tomb, or a cave. Cremation was a pagan practice.
Anymore, I don't really care. Cremation is much less expensive, and I believe that the Lord can resurrect ashes as well as He can decomposed bodies or those that went in the ocean to be eaten by fish.

My father asked me to bury his ashes, in his favorite hunting spot, on a particular mountain. I will do as he wished. His love for hunting and that mountain, are something I always admired about him.

A couple yrsback I was watching a medical show on youtube they were professional doctors and worked at a school using cadavers from donated bodys some had been in use for years some were just parts and pieces all were treated with some chemicals to allow Years of use
A lot of interesting content yes a bit strange maye creepy to some but they said no matter how much book or animation to teach people having a real body made a huge difference
Especialy one who had dled with some medical issue to make it easy to see the results
They always said all body's were treated with respect and depending on the request returned the ashes back to the family or just took care of them self
I have also heard from different sources it's more difficult To donate your body than most would think A lot of needs to meet the check list to do so
i Never looked into it so if thats your choice i would check into it orher than just saying to do it
but I guess it's a option and a worry one if they choose to take you

I can tell you first-hand.... for a student of human anatomy, there is NOTHING that can compare to study of a real body. My assigned cadaver was used for the entire semester. Learned more from that experience than anything else in college.

Cremation.....it just makes more sense to me than a plot with my remains in it.
My mother was the first to go and wanted her ashes put in the Locust Fork river. We held off putting her ashes there until after my father passed so we could put them together. For a bit we had both mom and dad's ashes at my brother's house. My husband was looking for something and asked "what is this" and we both said "Mom and Dad" at the same time. It freaked Larry out so bad he took a minute to gather himself. They are together....driving each other crazy, I'm sure.

Golfers will appreciate this.
I had it in mind to start a memorial service for golfers. At the golf course, on the deceased's favorite hole, I would put down a small bronze plaque with his name. The family could choose to spread ashes there or not.
I'd call the service "Buried Lies."

What about being cremated with a fistful of shotgun shells? Go out with a bang!

When I was in my early teens (Early '60's) one day I was driving dad from one field to another and as we passed one of the farms he'd worked since he was a boy he said he wanted to be cremated and spread on the farm he'd loved so long.
Years later as he was declining from Alzheimer's I remember that day and discussed it with my siblings and they all understood. When he passed we mixed his ashes with mom's and spread them on their favorite part of that farm.
My late wife loved the sunshine (hence my nickname for her) and was afraid of small dark places so cremation was a simple issue after she saw how it worked for my parents. Per her wishes she was cremated and we had a gathering of friends for a pot-luck meal and story telling before spreading her ashes in the meadow where her horses were buried. I assume my sons will take my ashes back to Texas and spread them on the wind there.

I plan to be cremated also,my grandson will spread my ashes in the woods were we hunted. I am not rushing it but I made my urn,wife thinks it`s creepy. I wanted some thing different, I took this from a tree to the finished urn took a year and a half for the wood to dry and about a week to build.
