Mushroom burial suit anyone?

I wish everyone could go when they are ready. Doesn't matter if you're 20 or 100, I just hope you are at peace at the end, like Anthony Hopkins in Meet Joe Black.

It's easy to choose a burial if you've got abundant lands to bury your dead. But right now prices of burial lots have skyrocketed and only the comfortably wealthy can afford to keep on buying land. But even then, it's finite and you'll soon be forced to bury your dead faraway from Metro Manila. Then when all burial lots are filled, what happens to the dead? Exhumed to give way to new tenants.
I also come from a family that has traditionally buried all that have passed away, but recently I've begun to question this tradition. My tito passed away the other year and we had him cremated after the wake. My boss' dad was cremated right after death and it was only the urn that was in the wake. My lola still followed the traditional process with a wake, procession to the cemetery, and burial. Regardless of procedure, all of them are dead as dead and have been peacefully laid to rest.
I don't want to dwell on our beliefs about the afterlife, but I find it difficult to believe that an almighty and omnipotent god will care much about how your dead body was dealt with.
These rituals are really more for those that are left behind. I'm sure it makes people cope better with their grief to do the ritual this way or the other. But I think that they should also reexamine their beliefs as resources (land) are finite, and our choices will inevitably affect the options that will be available to future generations.
