Which do you prefer? Buried or Cremated ???

[_Cathy_]

let's see

burial:
cost of embalming?
casket - depende sa design, local or imported. some can be a couple of hundred thousand or more.
land - at himlayang pilipino 375k for inner lots, underground burial, double internment. 1M for a lot for 8 internments. 1.6M for 18 internments not including cost of building the mausoleum. this is 2 above ground, 4 below ground and 12 bone crypts.

cremation - at la loma columbary it was 15k a few years ago.
columbary - from 35k (double internment) at la loma a few years ago. at st. vincent (tandang sora) it was from 55k single internment.

Nagulat nga ako ang mahal ng casket. Metal cost almost half a million (10 yrs ago) Mas mahal pa yung bronze. But then again there are cheap wood caskets.

What happens to the casket pag cremation?

"none of the customers complained."

besides, they clean it well, before the next user comes in.
we don't have to worry about non-matching hair strands.
heh heh.

There is another option: alkaline hydrolysis.

Ewww. "The Little Mermaid Option" sounds much nicer.

With eyes already glazing she looked once more at the Prince, hurled herself over the bulwarks into the sea, and felt her body dissolve in foam.

OT: I'm glad I read the non-Disney versions of Cinderella, The Little Mermaid, Beauty and the Beast etc.

I hate how Disney changed the story from the original
