Cremation

[thesheriff443]

What’s your opinion on cremation?

Does it happen in your family

Do you plan to go up in smoke

What about keeping the ashes or spreading them.

[Alf]

It's cheaper.

[Kate!]

Both my parents were cremated and I plan to be also.

I would like my ashes scattered.

[Niamh.]

Grave yards are such a waste of space, instead of graveyards they should bury ashes and plant a tree over it as a memorial, that way we're giving back to the environment whilst also having graves of sorts for people to visit

[smudgie]

Leave the land for the living, but it really is down to personal taste.

We are a cremation family, dad is still in the wardrobe.
My brother-in-law is normally in sister’s airing cupboard as he liked the warmth.

[Crimson Dynamo]

The TL's mum is in the house somewhere in a pot. We live next to a crematorium and sometimes when the wind blows from the East the dust goes on the sheets on the line!.

Love this idea!

[Cherie]

Cremation for me, I do not want to go in a hole in the ground

although I will say it is nice to have a grave to visit at the same time, I get comfort from visiting my Mum and Dads and looking after it is a tribute to them

thats what they do in crematoriams here, you can have a plot and put a plaque or plant a rosebush, they are not big enough for trees though

[Niamh.]

Love this idea!

It's actually Gavs idea but he's full of good ones :love:

the downside is that wouldn't there like be loads of trees in random places :omgno:

''somewhere in a pot'' oh not the TL her mum getting put somewhere randomly instead of a special place :omgno:


living next to a crematorium, ew i have nothing against crematoriums but living next to it isn't really a dream environment to live in :unsure:

[Cal.]

I hate the idea of being burned, in the ground or thrown in the sea

I’d rather just be discarded in a bush or something

how about being black bagged and dumped at the back of Nicky's Beagle Shrine, by the anti-homeless bench?

[Cal.]

Sounds like me!

[Niamh.]

No you could put them all in one place, green belt type areas

[Livia]

Most of my family, the ones who didn't come here 70 years ago, are buried in the Jewish cemetery in East Ham. Cremation is acceptable to Jews these days, obviously I don't refer to Orthodox Jews who believe cremation is a sin. However, a generation of Jews have turned away from it because of the Nazi cremations. My grandmother doesn't want to be cremated for that reason.

Personally I would have no problem with being cremated. I believe you leave your body when you die like you would get out of a clapped out car.

[joeysteele]

Mixture in my family.

My Grandparents are all buried and I respectfully go to their graves.
Often taking their younger descendants to it too.

One of them only 4 calls it Grandma and Granddad's park.

I'd prefer burial myself but I'm not bothered either way.

I don't like the idea of spreading ashes.
It sounds daft as the individual is gone obviously but why I don't, is thinking of bits of the person all over the place.

Keeping the ashes, I understand that and like the idea of when one partner dies and is cremated, keeping them until the other goes and then putting both together.
Then burying them.

[Marsh.]

Mixed. Some are buried, some are cremated. Just personal preference.

[Twosugars]

Undecided bc the buried body provides more nutrients to environment

If get buried then in one of those eco burial parks or whatever they are called

Oh fgs. You'll be pumped full of chemicals in the funeral home you won't make it to the grave alive. :smug:

It can happen and has happened in other cultures especially those that believe you should be berried within 24 hours of dying.
