Re: Are You Going To Be Cremated?

Honestly, cremation is a convenience for those still alive and I want to be as little of a burden as possible once I'm gone. I see zero religious significance whether it is done or not.

For memorial purposes it is the only legal way for someone to hold onto a loved one, versus keeping their body in the freezer or buried in cement somewhere.

Re: Are You Going To Be Cremated?

I want this process:

Promession: the freeze-dried burial method

http://www.timesonline.co.uk/tol/new...cle3780207.ece

It's not approved in the US yet, but I hope by the time I pass on it will be.

Re: Are You Going To Be Cremated?

I plan to avoid death altogether.

1Th 4:15 For this we say unto you by the word of the Lord, that we which are alive and remain unto the coming of the Lord shall not prevent them which are asleep.
1Th 4:16 For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first:
1Th 4:17 Then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord.
1Th 4:18 Wherefore comfort one another with these words.

Re: Are You Going To Be Cremated?

Why isn't there a "I'm going up in the rapture" choice?

It might be another 50-100 years before he comes......might need to make some back-up plans.
