Which do you prefer? Buried or Cremated ???

[tidus1203]

Cremate for me. Cheaper and cleaner and less fuss to those you left behind....

[LexTer]

I want to be buried sa ground. My family believes that cremation is a no-no. According to the bible kasi on the resurrection day the dead in Christ will rise again:

• 1 Corinthians 15:35-55
  It is the same way with the resurrection of the dead. Our earthly bodies are planted in the ground when we die, but they will be raised to live forever. Our bodies are buried in brokenness, but they will be raised in glory. They are buried in weakness, but they will be raised in strength. They are buried as natural human bodies, but they will be raised as spiritual bodies. For just as there are natural bodies, there are also spiritual bodies. …Then, when our dying bodies have been transformed into bodies that will never die, this Scripture will be fulfilled: "Death is swallowed up in victory. O death, where is your victory? O death, where is your sting?" (Excerpt Verses 42-44; 54-55 NLT)

• 1 Thessalonians 4:16
  "For the Lord himself will come down from heaven, with a loud command, with the voice of the archangel and with the trumpet call of God, and the dead in Christ will rise first."(NIV)

my personal take on this is I don't take what the bibles say literally....I mean time change so as the manner on how should we be "buried"...

if in the bible it say that earthy bodies should be buried in the ground, well, it just because they don't have cremation yet at that time...

I think they do already. Before they do it with their kings, have their bodies float sa river or sea in a flaming boat or something. so i guess cremations is done even before.

well true, time changes but my family still believe in having our body buried in the ground.

well i also watched it sa History channel when they have this episode about Burial traditions

[nostalgia]

be buried in the ground.

[valvura]

If i could have the way and means, i prefer to be burried like the Muslims or the Jews in Jesus' time, walang embalment (& removal ng lamang loob)...why?...imagine kung na-cremate si Lazarus, papaano pa siya mabubuhay ni Kristo...Jesus Christ himself, imagine if he resurrected from ashes...

But I won't mind being cremated for economy & convenience ng maiiwan...

I remember reading a book by a priest advocating cremation...he compared cremation to the "Light" when Jesus ascended to heaven in flesh and spirit...

[russpogi]

Kahit ano but I prefer to have all my organs donated para makapakinabangan ng mga nangangailangan since I'm dead at that time, para at least pag namatay ako, nakatulong pa din ako.

[mark_t]

Last July 10 2008 we had our mother, my friend cremated. Nasa bahay na sya ngayon. She is the first in our family to be cremated. Meron pa din kami space sa Mandaluyong Cemetary for 12 bodies on 2 lots, bahala na sila.

But I would prefer to be burried within 24 hrs.

agree din ako dito. i would like to be able to make my death beneficial to others in need somehow, kaya organ donation nalang, tapus ung remains ko, cremate na.

Beneficial AND economical...

[arnielbenz]

Ask ko lang po need pa ba iburol bago i-cremate? o pwede na direct cremation?

[badkuk]

i hope i don't sound off being disrespectful, but it should be no problem for God to turn your ashes back into flesh and blood to resurrect you B)

Eto kasi ang di ko matanggap: say you lived and died a good Christian, then for some reason your remains got cremated -- either walang budget ung family mo for burial, you fell into a blast furnace, or you got stuck on Ground Zero when the H-bomb got dropped -- just for that simple technicality, e hindi ka na ireresurrect? That seems a bit unfair for me.

Say to do get buried; bodies decompose, and you become worm food, and eventually plant food. In other words, it's not "flesh and blood" anymore. How different is that from turning ash back into flesh and blood?

Same with the beliefs of Muslims that the body should be buried within 24-hours, or else they won't go to paradise: say the guy was a good Muslim, pero namatay siya during the Soviet invasion of Afghanistan, and his body got incinerated, or just left on the wayside to rot: null and void na ung life niya as a good Muslim just because of that?

Somehow, i have to believe that God will judge us beyond mere technicality; that to me is True Goodness, that to me is fair and just. Peace :peace:

Cremate for me.

My dad was cremated and buried at our local parish crypt when he passed away. No hassle in maintenance and very its convenient for the family as we can visit almost anytime we want to as compared to having to make a trip to the cemetery.

Maganda rin iyong isinasakay sa balsa at ipinapaanod sa tubig (sea, river, or lake). Tapos papanain ng panang may apoy para roon masunog ang bangkay...

haha yon ang gusto ko, pero in this modern times mukhang di na pwede yon. so cremated na lang para mura pa, yung natipid pang inom ng family and friends habang nasa burol para masaya ang lahat, pati ako habang nasa burol gusto ko naka ngiti ang gawin sakin at suot ko ang ray-ban aviator ko para cool.

Plastination. Then put me on display at Gunther von Hagens' Body Worlds.

Joke lang ha!
