Yards used to be much bigger before we became civilized. Plenty of room out back for family plots. As far as I know we don't have requirements for wild animals in the wild, but we do for pets. Strange huh?
Years ago Charleston S.C. had to move their dead and buried from the city as their body fluids were leaching in to the drinking water was making folks real sick.
Moved them out of the little peninsula there.
A Judeo-Christian burial is actually a sign of faith. By being buried in the ground, you are testifying to your coming resurrection from the grave. Like Our Lord. Burning of bodies in biblical typology is a foreshadow of that person’s eternal torment in flames.
Yes and no. Your body will be resurrected like Jesus Christ’s was. At that point you will either be cast both body and soul in hell, or you will be body and soul with Jesus Christ.
Hotel Hell?
We signed up for cremation, No matter what part of the world we die in they will ship our ashes to our plot in Ohio.....it was VERY REASONABLE!
Not sure.
It just seems a waste; I’d rather be a nice meal for vultures or worms than pay $2500-$10K for being embalmed and put in a fancy box. Cremation seems like a massive waste of energy. No kids, no debts; both houses (Ca and Montana) going to be sold and the money given to dog rescue minus enough for a hell of a wake.
Soon it will turn to use people for chicken food or feed them to tipala like the chinese do.
So you are saying that unless the body was interred intact, there is no afterlife? So good Christians whose bodies were torn to bits by animals will not be resurrected? G_d fearing folks who died in the forest and were disposed of by bears, wolves, foxes, birds, and worms will never be resurrected because they were not interred in a graveyard? Nor will those whose bones were scattered by floods even though buried correctly? What about those whose mortal remains were literally blown apart in explosions?
To think that G_d *needs* to bring ones mortal remains together to pass judgement is one of the least intellectually defensible positions I have ever heard. Even the Orthodox Church doesn’t follow that line of “reason”.
How insulting is that to any Christian or Jew (though most Judaism isn’t much for the afterlife thing...) who died at the hands of violence that literally sundered their bodies? Or those that were immolated in fire like the twin towers, their ashes scattered to the winds? The bodies of people from the Titanic are nowhere to be seen, but there are photos of a man’s boots lying on the bottom exactly where they would have been with his body when he landed on the bottom.
Sorry, I think you are utterly and completely mistaken in the whole “body must be intact” construct.
As I said: We HAVE a body. We ARE a soul. The body is a mere vessel for us to use for the glorification of our Creator. A tool, to be discarded when our service on this plane is completed.
No, just saying in the Bible, a Judeo-Christian burial with your fathers was a sign of being right with God. Not always, but as a general rule. Why would a Christian adopt pagan burial practices?
Then why does no one know where Moses, or Aaron, or Joshua, or Abraham, or Isaac, or ANY of the patriarchs are buried? Your argument has no basis in scripture, only in conjecture and assumption.
Good night.
Two thumbs up, Don!

*Bring Out Yer Dead* Ping! :)
I keep telling Beau that an excellent income stream would be to use some of our land as either an ‘organic’ burial plot or help out the State Medical Examiner and start a Body Farm.
So far, he’s not going for it; not sure why. ;)
We already have a Pet Cemetery and both his deceased wife’s ashes, and those of my Dad, are scattered here. Ours will eventually be, too. *SHRUG*
Actually, we do know where Abraham is buried.
The Cave of Machpelah is the world's most ancient Jewish site and the second holiest place for the Jewish people, after Temple Mount in Jerusalem. The cave and the adjoining field were purchased—at full market price—by Abraham some 3700 years ago. Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, Sarah, Rebecca, and Leah are all later buried in the same Cave of Machpelah. These are considered the patriarchs and matriarchs of the Jewish people. The only one who is missing is Rachel, who was buried near Bethlehem where she died in childbirth.
