Hubby, daughter and I were having Christmas Day breakfast when hubby asked if I wanted to be buried or cremated. I said just cremate me and dump my ashes. He asked if we should get a plot for our ashes so we will be together. I said "why ruin my afterlife?" My daughter and I laughed our heads off and his feelings were hurt. The conversation was hilarious. Merry Christmas and if I go missing, you guys know who did it! 4951
We are not a family that visits gravesites so no worries. Â For me, take the cheapest route. Â It was a funny time for a serious conversation so I did not take it seriously. Â But I had to wonder if he was plotting my demise. 4951
This quote is a succinct description of why I choose burial for myself, "While cremation seems to communicate a picture of the destruction of the body, burial better signifies lying to rest awaiting awakening. The death of a Christian is not the end life, but is rather a parenthesis between two lives, a life of perishable mortality and a future life of imperishable eternality. The body which is laid to rest will one day rise and burial better depicts this reality." 4951
"While cremation seems to communicate a picture of the destruction of the body, burial better signifies lying to rest awaiting awakening.You ever see what happens after you've been in the ground a while? I think this is a case of quick versus fairly quick. 4951
