Finally, a believer!\n\nI have extensive plans to pass new legislation that will require all new coffins to be air tight and be filled with cement, thus holding the zombie hoard inside of their resting places. Older graves will also be safeguarded with injected cement.\n\nI believe there will come a day when we can all live without fences.

After cremation, your ashes can be made into diamonds for jewelry, etc.\n\nhttp://www.lifegem.com/

I noticed people become more believing when they get older...I think for a lot of people the thought that when you die, you cease to exist is difficult to comprehend, so there must be a God overseeing the afterlife...

Hmm...interesting. If you believe in It, the work of God is absolutely everywhere. Certainly makes sense, if "He" is hungry to show us what He's done. Guess we just have to look with the right focus.\nCommiserations on the funeral. Never good.

Get cremated like I'm going to do. Going up in a flame is much better than being worm food. Don't worry so much about stuff you can't control- try enjoying your life while you're living it.

You can cremate them and bury them in ground, or put cremains in a niche(a space in a wall), or you can just bury them in the ground in a casket, or put the casket in a crypt(a space in a wall), You can also bury them at sea, or spread their cremains somewhere.. Hope that helped..

It doesn't matter what anyone thinks. No one has come back to tell us, but all the evidence would support the idea that we don't go anywhere except to the grave.\n\nWherever it is, we'll all get there sooner or later.

The fact is that there is no Bible command for or against either burial or cremation. Well in the Bible the pronounced dealing with the dead one was Burial! Increasing numbers of people have been turning to cremation to reduce the cost of burial! So in case you too are concerned!\n\nWhat Is the Scriptural View?\nIn a pronouncement against “the king of Babylon,” the prophet Isaiah said: “You have been thrown away without a burial place for you.” (Isaiah 14:4, 19) Should the scattering of ashes be compared to such a case of humiliation? No, for there is no reference to cremation and the preservation or the scattering of the resulting ashes.\n\nJesus Christ spoke of the earthly resurrection of the dead that will take place during his Millennial Reign when he said: “All those in the memorial tombs will hear [my] voice and come out.” (John 5:28, 29) However, that a specific grave is not necessarily required to resurrect a person is borne out in another prophetic description of the resurrection. Revelation 20:13 states: “The sea gave up those dead in it, and death and Hades gave up those dead in them.” So, what matters is not where or how a person ‘returns to dust.’ Rather, it is whether he is remembered by God and is resurrected. (Job 14:13-15; compare Luke 23:42, 43.) God certainly does not need impressive tombs to help him remember people. Cremation does not prevent a person’s resurrection. And if the scattering of ashes is done with a proper motive and without false religious ceremonies, it would not be incompatible with the Scriptures.\n\nActually, modern cremation is somewhat comparable to the actions of the men of Jabesh-gilead after they rescued the bodies of King Saul and his sons from the Philistines. They took the bodies to “Jabesh and burned them there. Then they took their bones and buried them.” (1 Sam. 31:12, 13) Faithful David did not consider their burning the corpses as shameful. It was part of a respectful disposing of the dead.—2 Sam. 2:4-7.\n\nAdditionally, the Bible plainly shows that it matters not whether a dead body is returned to dust rapidly by fire or gradually by decay. Either way God’s words are true: “For dust you are and to dust you will return.” (Gen. 3:19) It certainly is not as if God needs a mummy in order to resurrect a person. The apostle Paul taught that a person resurrected to heaven will be given a new body, so that he is “changed” from the fleshly body that disintegrated. He showed that ‘God gives to each one a body just as it pleases him.’ (1 Cor. 15:35-49) It will be similar with those resurrected to life on earth in the New Order. God will be able to provide adequate human bodies no matter how their former bodies disintegrated, whether rapidly by fire or slowly by decay.\n\nDefinitely God’s Word does recommend that the body of a dead loved one be dealt with in a dignified, respectful way. But whether a family, for emotional, economic or other reasons, will have a deceased loved one cremated or not is a personal matter.

I know exactly how you feel. I have the same problem.  I even think about waking up for the cremation and feeling the heat.  Maybe these situations are what hell is.  Then when I began to have faith in the Lord, I now want to be cremated because I can't afford to be buried. My boyfriend would go broke and lose our house.  I think about things like that.  I don't want to be a burden on anyone.....)(

good, its not like you will need them once you are dead. You still get to be buried or cremated and no one can tell the difference. One person can help save many people.

as far as I've heard, there have been consessions made recently to permit creamation. Specifically there have been prayers and services written up specifically geared towards catholic practitioners. My father is catholic and wishes to be creamated. \nI'm sure many hard core catholics, however, still frown upon this. Ask your priest if you are curious about what your specific parish does in the case of cremation.

I'm 'fraid so unless otherwise requested. They actually put pantyhose on my mother-in-law. I want to be in my jammies and then cremated just to be sure I don't spend eternity in pantyhose.

I don't, when your dead, your dead.  I cannot understand why people spend thousands of dollars to bury people in expensive coffins when we all rot anyway.  I just want to be cremated and flush my ashes down the toilet and go out and have a drink and remember what great times you had when I was there.

Cremated. Why use up op a lot of space for what is only, without disrespect, a big ol' lump of meat?\nNo, just burn me please. And don't save the ashes either, sprinkle them somewhere.

Yes, anyone can buy an urn, many shops sell them.\nYes, the urn can be put in the trash.\n\nIf your question about the trash is referring to the urn's contents, check with your state regulations and municipal policies.  Some do have restrictions on cremated remains...
