Cremation or Burial

In Your Hearts

On a slightly morbid note, would you like to be buried or cremated considering that we are running out of cemetery spaces and maintaining the grave is going to be fairly expensive in the future.

My preferences is cremation.

Cremated for me, I can't stand the thought of all the bugs and creepy crawlies eating away at my flesh

I would like to be buried then the grave yard cremated.

On the resulting brown field site a lovely housing estate could be built, probably featuring some of those nice 'town house' designs that are popular these days.

Cremated and then my ashes buried in the family plot where my son and father already lie. The cemetary is the most beautiful spot...very picturesque. There's something oddly comforting about knowing exactly where I'll end up.......

I can't decide and in a predicament tbh.

What happens if you need your body in the next life and you are cremated? An eternity of being a pile of dust, or even worse you feel every moment of the cremation process in the afterlife.

Then again being buried what if you can pass on until your decomposed and no more? Another eternity of waiting and enduring pain.

Hmmmmm I really don't know what to do, I suppose we come into the world whole and not in a state where you add water. So maybe burial. Hmmmmm arghhhhh

For me personally I wanted every opportunity to see and spend time with my mother at the funeral service before saying goodbye but maybe that's because I spent so many years living on the other side of the world.

I want to buried. Knowing how expensive this is likely to be, I've made financial arrangments so it won't cost my family.

I've always been brought up to believe that seeing a dead person helps with the grieving process. I saw my first dead relative when I was 5 years old. Apparently I poked him, asked why he wasn't singing (he died of chirosis of the liver-I was 5 I just thought he was always happy) then sat in a corner with my colouring book.

My son was cremated and I had a beautiful necklace made using a tiny amount of ashes. It's so comforting. So cremation all the way for me. Can make it more personal for those left behind. Scattering of ashe's etc

Burial at sea is also possible and quite legal in the UK, which is something that I have considered.

There is only one Shipping Company in the UK who specialize in this service, which was apparently very popular in the past but has declined in recent years. I learned of them recently when one of their "clients" surfaced off the coast of Jersey. The coffins are lined with concrete to keep them on the seabed, but the wood is meant to rot away and the corpse decompose within 18 months. The article, however, didn't mention what happens to the skeletons. A new law has now been passed whereby it is compulsory that DNA must be obtained from the deceased, prior to burial at sea, so that in the event of a "resurfacing" then they can be identified and re interned, without the cause of a major investigation by the authorities.

cremation is permanent. Think the plot or lair you are buried in, is only guaranteed for ninety nine years or a hundred years. After that they may have to dig you up and re-bury you, perhaps in a mass grave to make way for the ten storey car park

My preference would be to get eaten by wolves, following the advert on telly at the moment the UK equivalent is to be processed by Whiskas which would also be fine by me. But given societies restrictions on what types of corpse are just meat and which are not then I would go for cremation, as I would be dead and wouldn't give a toss really

I wouldn't wish to be displayed after my death but in a similar vein I was present with my sister at our father's bedside as he took his last breath, we held his hands and talked to him, I read him silly jokes and the sun blazed in through the Windows on possibly the most beautiful February morning I can remember.

We sat with my dad and had a cup of tea and stayed for about an hour, kisses his cheek and said our goodbyes.

I would not change that experience for the world it was possibly the single most important and beautiful thing I have experienced in my life aside the birth of my children.

Yes. It is a bit misleading. Many people have a rather romantic notion of being helpful toward advanced research. Unfortunately, they do not envisage buckets and students. Ugh. Still, if our medical trainees could not gain experience, I guess we would not have any surgeons.

Actually quite like the idea of getting my ashes compressed into a diamond then just getting put into cash converters as a cheap engagement ring that is almost definitely going to end up back there a few times

I would like a woodland burial if I’m honest, I like the idea of them and they always seem so peaceful, of course a churchyard is too but there is something more calming with woodland burials, plus also trees are being planted.

I’ve never liked the idea of cremation personally. I know you are dead but it always feels me with ‘this is a bit final innit!’.

Plus I’m a huge family history buff so I want somewhere my relatives can go in 100 years and do some research.

"I would like a sky burial.

That's being left in an isolated, high position for carrion to take me away.

Ooh a Parsee burial! Don’t see many of them where I live now.

It's believed that it was quite usual in many ancient cultures.

I like the idea. Maybe it would be better suited to a dry country though.

It'd get a bit maggoty in this country unless you could guarantee a large crow population. "

Put me on top of a hill somewhere remote and let nature take its course. I don't reckon it would take more than about 48 hours. Failing that dump me in the lion's enclosure at a safari park

I really don't care.

Bury me at the bottom of the garden if you like.

I would rather my body is disposed of in the cheapest possible way, and people celebrate my life.

I'd probably choose cremation, although I do like the idea of one company; having your body processed and planted with a tree seed to provide it with nutrients

I want to be cremated - no service, no mourners, no nothing. Just shoved into a fire in private. Ive an irrational fear of worms so burial is a massive fuck no.

I hate burials and cremations - both suck and make me feel broken inside, at the point the coffin is lowered into the grave or moved and curtained off - I don't want anyone having that as a lasting memory of me.

I’m an organ donor so I hope my organs that are useful will be put to a good use and the rest burnt

Once I've been stripped of any useful bits there may not be much need for either...

But under a tree so I can watch the stars might be good..
