My preference is to be laid out for the ravens and other scavengers. Otherwise, natural decomposition in the ground should work. It seems fine in our pet cemetery. Wrap the dearly departed in a burlap bag and put them in the dirt. GD The Parsi corpse is exposed to the rays of the sun, and the corpse is consumed or devoured by birds of prey — vultures, kites and crows," Mistree says. For Zoroastrians, burying or cremating the dead is seen as polluting nature.

Whatever you said...everyone knows you are a lying jerk. That's a bold assertion. Point out where you think I lied. Well?

Cremated with a party afterward. Don’t get me started on the predatory funeral home industry.

God seems to care enough about my body that He promises a resurrection & glorification of it, and therefore Christians have historically buried their dead when possible.
So that’s where I tend to lean… Are you suggesting that God is incapable of resurrecting a cremated body? I did not suggest that in any way, no. I choose my words carefully and said exactly what I mean.

So that’s where I tend to lean… I tend to think that if 'whatever is going to happen later' is incumbent on, dependent, or affected by what we do, or is done, to a deceased body, then we would have been told what to do with it..... JMHO.... The faithful of biblical times were, when possible, buried. Pagans cremated. Is there an express command? Nope. Is there a practice that prevails in the biblical witness? Yes. I never condemned anyone for any other view just expressed an honest answer to the question.

Torch me. No religious side to it. I just can't see paying money for a plot. My wife knows where I want to be spread. I can live/die knowing that

Or is it a matter of choice of treatment of ones body?

Cremation Society of Idaho went to the care center, transported MIL's remains, provided the cremation, met with family in very cordial and respectful manner, and returned ashes in a cardboard box. All for about $800 a couple years ago. I am sure prices have increased a bit. There is uniform consent among our extended family that this company will get our business in the future as need arises. https://www.cremationsociety-idaho.com/

Cremation for me. Wife and kids can make some nice jewelry out of me. Wife did that with her dads ashes. He passed from brain cancer and had some earrings made. She wore them when got married. Hold on to my ashes in Urm. When they are ready to let me go, dump me out on my hunting grounds
All of them do something better than the 30-06, but none of them do everything as well.

My wishes are to donate anything useful to anyone that needs it and cremate the remains. I do want my ashes buried. The ashes are to be placed in a Dutch oven, either one of mine or a new one, their choice. I have a plot reserved in a rural cemetery where many of my family have been buried since the 1830s. It costs nothing to be buried there if one has family already there. Voluntary donations of no specified amounts are collected annually by a committee to cover maintenance expenses. Nothing is required. Those that want to, give whatever they want, if anything. I decided many years ago that was where I belonged. I have already ordered my tombstone and will have it installed later this year, all but the final date on it. All my family will need to do is literally drive over there with my ashes (in the Dutch oven), take a shovel and bury the ashes, and have the final date added to the stone. No muss, no fuss, and very little expense. Why would I want thousands of dollars to be spent on a casket, a vault, a lot in a commercial cemetery, embalming, transportation of my body, etc.? No one will ever see my body or any of this expensive stuff again after I would be buried, except maybe some archeologist 3,000 years from now. So, why make a funeral home rich? I would much rather my remaining family have that money to do whatever they want with it. I will be next to my father's tomb stone and near my grandparents and other relatives. My daughter asked if she could keep a few of my ashes, and I said sure. If someone else wants something different for themselves, that's fine by me. This is what I want for me and why.

I'm surprised there's no-one here nominating the Hunter S Thompson method - ashes shot out of cannon.

My plan was to be cremated and shot out of the sextant port of a C-130 halfway between NJ and the Azores. Now my ANG unit has C-130s without a sextant port. My wife and I will be cremated and buried near Highbrass in the WV veteran's cemetery.
