I have a question?
Not to be morbid but: who is being cremated Vs having a funeral?
I personally think cremation has got to hurt no matter how dead you are.
Some people say I'll be very warm where ever you go!
Not sure what they meant by that? Sarcasm I think??????

I told my brother to have me cremated, just be sure I am dead before he lets anyone toss me in the oven. He asked me how would he know for sure.
My reply was, if I don't talk for 15 minutes it's probably a good bet I am dead.

The Misses and I have informed our 2 daughters that we both want to be cremated, they're the only family we have left. We decided a couple of years ago on that route after a sit down with the kids about when it comes to that time.

Life's journey is not to arrive at the grave in a well-preserved body, but to skid in sideways, totally worn out, shouting...Holy Sh!t What a ride!
Yeppers... cremation then scatter me in a high wind. I don’t want to be locked in a deep dark hole. I’m going to be travelling..

Very interesting replies.
I am in favor of a funeral but think the expense is ridiculous.
On the other hand a cremation may be less but seems like a anti-climax to one's life.
If I could be sealed in metal urn and placed in some majestic location like on the Rocky Mountains in Yellowstone I would be OK with that.
Or are we just fooling ourselves about our physical body and not considering our soul?
I would hate to believe that this is all there is and there is no final reward where we can meet up with our past relatives, mother, father, grand parents, brothers and sisters etc.
We all need to have something to believe in. So if your going to post that this is it and there is no more, please don't waste your time or anyone else's. You are welcome to your opinion and that's OK with me, but I have already decided that there is more and when the time comes I'll be looking forward to the next chapter. It is my way of being positive in a very uncertain world of today.
If the moderators would like to close this thread that is OK with me too.
I have made up my mind and thanks for sharing your point of view, mine became more clearer as I read your replies.
Thanks again

You know with the latest news of my brother I have been thinking about this thread. After I give up this life my body is of no importance to my spirt. I pray the good lord takes home to be with my brothers. Living here sorta sucks.Be Careful not to inflame your mind ..................

I agree Fred. My daughter was an organ donor. When she died they harvested her eyes. This gave another person another chance at sight. The organ bank notified us of the gift of sight and sent a pin in the mail. I too would sign up in a minute but my old body is about wore slap out.

Bubba,
Here is one more.
My wife and I are planning to be cremated.
I told the kids if I die first to put me in a Mason jar and place me under the kitchen sink.
When my wife passes, they can do the same with her. Then on a real nice sunny day, take the two jars out into the backyard and sprinkle them on the grass so that I could have one last roll in the grass with her.
I know that some Christians are against cremation. However, It says in Genesis 2:7 “And the Lord God formed man of the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living soul.” If God did it once He can do it again.
Cremation, I told the wife no service. In this town we are very close to the train tracks with an overhead bridge. That is where I told the mortician to be when he distributes the ashes on a North bound train.
Still it is $2600 just for them to do this.
I remember when I was a kid every Memorial day we would visit all the family member graves. No one does that anymore I guess. No one has the time.
Burning and dusting just seems to be the right way to go. If you don't remember me a headstone and grave won't change that. Not being morbid.
