  • Not a thing... personal preference.
  • Not at all...
  • it seems like the most sensible option. Weddings and Funerals play on people's emotions. It makes you feel if you don't spend a lot of money you don't LOVE the person. When I'm dead I PROMISE you I won't care what the hell you do with the body I lived in for "X" amount of years. Donate it to science, please.
  • No, but I would prefer a 'green burial'. http://www.greenburials.org/
  • Ozone depletion :o)
  • lol. yes. people who are cremated will be left behind when jesus comes and the dead rise. that's why we have to preserve the bodies in graves. That way they're only half rotted and crawling with maggots when they come out of the ground and not completely turned to dust. nah just kidding. religious warfare is what's really wrong.
  • No way. Clearing land and dedicating it to dead people is what is loony.
  • Not if you're dead.
  • No. It DOES take energy to burn a body, though. I'd like to leave mine for research. If I can't, I hope they bury me in a blanket so my body disappears altogether in 50 or 60 years.
  • Not a bit. That's what I want done to me. I want my ashes poured into the Seine in Paris.
  • ..no..its a matter of choice
  • no, but i wonder what takes more energy, building a coffin and lowering it into the ground, or burning a body and makinging and urn for it?
  • it is only wrong if the person in the coffin is still alive
  • Before my mum died, I wanted to be cremated like my grandparents and aunt. However, it has been a lot easier for me to mourn the loss of my mum knowing she is buried only a few feet away when I go to the grave yard. When planning her funeral, because of the suddenness of her illness Mum knew that it would be harder for us to attend a church service, a cremation service and then an interment later on. She felt it would be less traumatic for us to be in one place, at the church where she was going to be buried after the service. Its a purely personal belief but I think it is easier for those left behind to know that their loved one is still present in a physical form.
  • I like the idea of green burial better, it's more like recycling. Even if I were to burn a log, I'd feel like I was wasting it if I didn't make use of the heat. In the earth, new life will get nourishment from my remains.
  • I'm not ready for it yet but when the time is right you won't hear me scream.
  • No, its all a matter of personal choice, once cremated you can be buried in a niche wall or on top of another loved one or scatted in a certain place of meaning to you etc, there are alot of choices.
  • Not only do I not thing anything is wrong with cremation, I advocate it. It helps save our planet and besides its better than being eaten by bugs in the ground.
  • no,we"re dust and we return to dust....the body God does not want anyway,just the spirit of /the soul..and it automatically goes back to HIM who owns it...till HE judges....:)justme
  • No, there is nothing wrong with cremation. The end result of cremation is bone fragments. The same thing happens to a body after lying in a grave for many years. Cremation only speeds up the process.
