My elderly aunt refused cremation. It is the HEATHEN way
in death as my mother also stated. - Aunt Mildred also
thought that cremation turned the bones to ash and that
the bones needed to remain until Christ returns for us at
the fast approaching end of the age. - I want to be buried
in a cheap coffin on a hill, facing eastward to meet Him
when He returns!

My husband was cremated and I had his ashes put in our local Catholic cemetery. I bought another space for MY ashes in that same grave. I even had the inscription on the tombstone for him.
Those who did that work asked me if I wanted MY name on the tombstone too, for when I kicked the bucket. LOL! I declined, choosing to WAIT until I HAD curled up my toes. I did NOT want to see MY name on that tombstone when I went out to visit HIS grave site.

NOT YET!! NOT YET!! NOT YET!!

By the way, how do you know that He will come from the east? North east? Due east? The earth shifts positions during the year. The sun rises more in my NORTHEAST during the summer and more in my SOUTHEAST in the winter.

He WILL find you.
