I don’t remember that.

But I bet it’s preferable to the movie Due Date, when they accidentally made coffee out of the ashes that were stored in a coffee can.

Sorry but this is disrespectful and disgusting.

If you also feel that way about cremation you’re in the minority here in the U.S., because they now outnumber traditional burials.

Now, I never saw Due Date, but that is almost as disgusting as taking a swig of dip spit from a styrofoam coffee cup...

Nature will do what it’s been doing for millions of years.

There are places now where corpses are actually laid ABOVE ground for decomposition and exposure to insects, birds, rodents, and other hungry critters!

Bodies should be put in a plain wood box and buried without chemicals. It is important to honor the body of our deceased kin.

Hey, why not use a large blender, and dump the blended bodies in the ocean so the fishes can get fat.

This is like a bad scene out of “Breaking Bad” where they try and dispose of a body by liquefying it in a bathtub and the bathtub dissolves.

Clergy need to quit worshiping at the alter of gaia.

It only promotes Godless Population Control, Abortion, and Euthanasia.

Even better sine the Catholic Church seems to have become Biden-like, begin the practice of cannabalism. It disposes of the flesh and may help meat prices to moderate.

How about exposing the body to scavengers like the Zoroastrians or similar "sky burial" by Tibetan Buddhists?

I would have no objection to having that technique used on myself, that or cremation. I would not favor it due to any
‘save the earth’ theme, these methods would be cheaper than the traditional way.

My Dad was cremated. All four of us siblings got a small vase with his ashes. I didn’t want mine, I have the memories of him. I don’t need a container with dust. Be that as it may, I knew better than to try explaining this to my family. It was just easier to graciously accept the vase and store it away, never to be opened.

While my cremation instructions are specific I do worry a bit about not leaving God enough to work with although I know my soul will survive.

Still how will we recognize our families without a face to recognize?

Ideas? ;-)

I would prefer my kids dig my ashes into some flower beds rather than storing them in the back of a closet for their kids to deal with. I don’t want a grave that has to be kept up or fees paid on either.

I find the overprice funerary business to be deeply offensive to my common sense.
