Regarding living vs. cremate. Its mostly because of costs. Columbarium unit at st.therese near resorts world can be had at 60k.
When my dad passed away, my mom didnt like the location od the vault for my dad. So we had to buy a new one worth 60k, on the day his ashes was supposed to go in.

Cost of cremation is same as hukay of the grave.

Iyan yata yung may 24-hour aircon na Columbarium. Di na maiinitan yung namatay. Haha. Kung yan nga, dyan nilibing yung asawa ng pinsan ko at ahente naman dyan yung isang kababata namin.

There was a time na bihirang-bihira talaga sa mga Katoliko ang nagpapa-cremate. Pero over the years ramdam at kita mo rin yung naging acceptance. Naging praktikal na rin kasi mga tao lalo na at nagmahal na mga lote sa memorial parks.
