I don't think I'm going to notice when it happens to me, so I don't really think about it.

Cremation however speeds up the process and takes less space.

I dont see any thing weird about either, the're both by far the commonest way of disposing of the dead where I live. How do you dispose of the dead where you live then?

I don't really see either as being "freaky" per se, you're dead at the time they happen so i don't see it as a big deal.

is waking up in a fire better? i don't think it much matters either way as long as they make sure i'm dead :p I might donate my body to science.

Freaky or creepy when your dead you won't care.. But here are pros and cons to both to those left behind.

Of course they will never benefit you after you pass away but here is my view on it..

* Buried can be exhumed to see if the cause of death was correct. For some people that could mean a criminal could be caught later or they find you died of a medical condition they never considered before.

* Cremated means everything is final. If you also have a medical condition it maybe wise to consider this to ensure that you never cause anyone else catches what you had if it was contagious.

In my opinion cremation is by far the most efficient and cleanest method for people to use. It guarantees closure for the family as well..

Buried alive would be the worst, course being cremated alive would suck too. :p

Re: What Is More Freaky, Being Buried Or Creamated?

after I'm dead my body is just compost and nothing more its not me
my body is just a vessel

I say use my body as minerals and vitamins and plant growth
to help keep the earth clean and healthy

burn me and I become an unusable substance that will damage the shell of our earth

I am working on my burial mound now. Need to haul up 4 more truckloads of dirt and grade the slopes. I want it high enough to view the valley. Won't bother me a bit when they take my backhoe to dump the dirt over the box the Amish guy made me.

I don't think either is freaky......personally, I want to be cremated and my ashes dumped in the Pacific Ocean. I think wasting space on a body in a coffin is kind of needless, myself, freaky, no, needless, expense and space, nature needs that space!

Just to be accurate, ash is very nutritious to plant life, just not as much as the pre-burned stuff.
That vid is freakin' awesome!

Actually, to be accurate, the remains are not "ashes" per se. They are bones that have been ground down to an ash-like substance.

And I agree w/ those who said neither are "freaky." I don't like open caskets as I find them kind of barbaric...I plan on being cremated.
