Many people choose cremation because it’s more inexpensive. Traditionally a burial can cost over $10,000. I suggest if you don’t want to be cremated you start putting a fund to the side. Or buy a lot and slowly pay it off. As well as investing in insurance. I sat down with both of my parents and told them that I cannot afford a traditional burial. I let them both know that they need to get life insurance or start saving on the side. I already started saving myself and I’m only in my early 40s. I told my parents I don’t want to be a financial burden if God forbid I were to go before them.

@@dwtbb00 Amen 👋🏿 I already have my plot pay for already have opening and closing paid for as well as my headstone I just want a simple graveside I don't want a big funeral I don't even want to get in bomb just put me in the ground and call it a day

@@edwardkelly5354 fair enough good for you I'm glad for you xx

They really messed up

Just take a eye's to Muslims.... U will know what is truth

C'mon, that person have no idea of what's going on ! They don't care if they're burned or tossed in the city dump !

@@lucianobezerra4380 hi taken onboard your right but for peace of mind for others who are not as callous as yourself with all due respect I'd like to add they have feelings and it's not a crime to be assured of a dignified farewell as possible bearing in mind the graphic post I placed on KZfaq , imagine it was your son, daughter , mother,father or an infant of yours and think you'd consider more about what you posted,to reiterate it's a free country in the UK and so is freedom of speech but the pen is mightier than the sword " ALWAYS"thanks for reading my post and taking time out and to reply to it.

Exactly. Your body is but a shell for your soul. Once you die you leave your shell behind.

Not really. The dust part is the end result be it centuries in the ground, the crematory as we see, or the sea for those who are buried at sea. Cremation just speeds things up. Hours as opposed to years in ground or months with sea life. Makes me tear up. Knowing my stepfather, both paternal grandparents, youngest paternal uncle most recently my late queen and love of my life all went through this. In her cases 18 years USAF boot camp upbringing and Scottish stoicism failed me.

Buried is best. More dignified. Also a grave to visit.

Cremation for me. Have little family. Cheaper, and not much for anyone to do anything with

You get this s*** right do not burn me and if you don't follow my wishes you will be seeing me in your sleep 😡😡

I agree depends on the persons preference burial seems more normal

I agree. I'm being buried. Not burnt like rubbish.

Better than to be slowly eaten by worms...yuk !

@@lucianobezerra4380 You are sealed up in a casket inside of a concrete vault how can the worms eat you?

@@lorenzomaximo1818 Maybe not worms, but certainly maggots.
