You will die...

[Ry_Tower]

... all of us will.

...sorry sa title, para medyo attention-grabbing.

Would you prefer cremation or burial? Just want to have some opinions about it.

I'm leaning towards cremation, then ilagay ko na lang sa fire/water proof urn, then safely tuck inside a fire proof safe inside my house.

How about you guys?

Cremation.

BTW: kapag namantay ka dahil sa sunog may discount kaya?

Wala siguro sir. Same process lang or same temp at time lang ang gagawin..
.
Angnm tipid lang siguro e hindi mo na kaylangan kumuha ng lupa na libingan at mag tax sa city hall.

but afaik may rules/restrictions ang local sanitation natin sa cremated cadavers. kailangan talaga sila "ilibing" sa sementeryo or crypt within a certain period of days after cremation. yes there are numerous people who brought the ashes at home then let it stay with them for the rest of their lives. hindi lang talaga sinusunod yun batas. nakita ko yun memo doon sa memorial park kung saan na-cremate ang tito ko.

Yup alam ko bawal talaga itago sa bahay. May nabasa ako dati na yung ash ibury kasama ng tree seed. So one person per tree. I like thar idea. Some trees live hundreds of years.

Good idea nga yung isang ash e isang tree. So yung cementerio natin e full of tree na lang.

May sabi sabi na mabigat daw sa bahay ang pag tatago ng ash ng tao. parang hirap maka usad.

ok lang yan, if madami kayong magkakapatid.
pero kung nagiisang anak o even dalawa lang kayong magkapatid, sobrang nakakapagod
when my pop died, tuliro si ermats.... walang silbi si utol dahil emotional.
walang gumalaw, kami lang ni misis, from the hospital, to the time ng cremation. isang gabi lang ang wake. ang tulog ko ata nun is mga 30 minutes lang..

yes, merong memorial plan, but kailangan pa ring kumilos dahil magiintindi ka ng papeles, bayad sa ospital, coordination sa punenarya, chibog sa funeral parlor, pati design ng urn.

in two days, i lost 8 pounds... walang kain, walang tulog, walang ligo.

this is the reason why i also told my kid, cremate, after mamatay, wala ng burol. tapos ready na din ang memorial plan, para pick-up na lang ang bangkay sabay sunog na...

I like your stand on this. We have the same mindset. Sabi ko nga sa immediate family, when it's my time na at andyan pa sila, cremate me immediately, walang lamay, I want to go quietly, I don't care kung malaman ng kamag anak or hindi. I'm sure I've served my purpose and have done all I can to serve my parents.
Tinanong ko na nga parents ko about this, ano gusto nila. Dad ko lang ang gusto may lamay pa, nakamulatan na kasi sa family side nila.
What I didn't like was the way they treated the remains of our eldest ate where due to financial difficulties that time when I was young, they've merged her remaining bones with 2 of my dad's relatives. Now, I really wanted to put her remains separately under my care but it would be too difficult I was told, excavation, identification and isolation, so we've decided na hayaan na lang at dalawin na lang at i-maintain puntod na 3 tao ang nakalibing. What will happen sa future generations sa father's side kung hindi na kayang kumuha ng memorial lot, pagsa-sama-samahin na lang ang mga buto sa puntod na yun? I can only imagine...

I'm just in my 40s and really healthy, but this preparation is always on my mind. Tulad ng karamihan dito, ayaw ko ding pahirapan pa at abalahin ang pamilya sa dami ng dapat ayusin at asikasuhin sa lamay at kung ano ano pang proseso, make it short and simple and cremation will do that.

i think the lamay is not for the dead.
it's for those still alive... those whom the deceased left behind.. for whatever good it will give them.

ADDITIONAL QUESTION, if I may, for those who prefers cremation, regarding urn: Brass? Granite? Marble? Ano ba ang mainam? At bibili ba kayo habang buhay pa, o ipapabahala nyo na lang sa mga maiiwan kung anong klase ng URN?

[XTO]

may mga taong responsable hanggang sa huli. meron ding papasarap na lang bahala na maiwan. yung iba bahala na kamag-anak

[dishcom]

Matindi pinag uusapan na pala dito pag namatay... pag lumuwag budget namin.. kukuha kami ng st peter plan na pag hindi namin nagamit within 15years e babalik sa amin ang nabayad namin plus free na yung plan. Yuko naman ng pabigat pa... if i have an option gusto ko yung idea na gawin pataba ng isang puno. Then yung puno mag sisilbing lapida ko.. parang wala pang ganun sa pinas..

does not matter...... its crushed bones.....
pwede nga ikalat sa ilalim ng puno eh...
kay erpats nun, kinuha ko, pinaka cheap... made of marble... i think i got it for 8k..... (note ha, pinaka cheap na yun.)

[dreamur]

Prices for the urns can go up to 6 digits (gold and porcelain). I bought a slot at aeternum columbary that can accommodate 4 urns. Didnt buy the urns yet but planning to as the next step. Plans from st Peter's are in place so I guess I can die in peace.

[benchman]

surprisingly, some people in the west are far more elaborate dealing with their ashes.

+ 1 on this. Its a reminder for us that life is really short.

personal choice po of whoever is alive and making the decisions..
you can choose prior to, or you can choose after the, burning..
i know of someone..
alma mater colors ang pinili..

[papi smith]

Pwede rin naman ilagay sa empty pringles container di ba? But seriously, I think the urns are ridiculously priced, taking advantage of one's pride in the way they honor the dead.
