Thoughts Of Cremation

Thoughts Of Cremation

When I die I’m going to be cremated
I don’t know why but I feel there’s something wrong
In wanting to be buried
I don’t think its got anything to do with being strong

Why do we bury sick bodies into the ground
I often wonder if we are contaminating mother earth
The graveyard, its more like a human compound
Seems a strange way to go after birth

All those poor souls that have been buried
Does their sickness die or be it allowed to spread
When we die, in a sense we have been freed
I often think of the grave yard as ones deathbed

I don’t want my death bed to be a cold lonely resting place
You would think worms would want something more tastier
Sorry sad faces visit the compound base
If I’m just remembered, that will be better

Cremation and a puff of smoke
Memories remembered, and warmly told
Stories passed on to homefolk
And not too extolled

Buried or cremated it doesn't really matter, the soul is set free at the time of passing.
I've had experience of being with ppl when they've died or just died and it does feel like that they are still present so I would open a window which is a thing my Irish relatives would do, the belief is that the soul would then be free to go, it's amazing how the room begins to feel calm and peaceful after opening a window

Our bodies are organic so either way we return to nature.

"Do not stand at my grave and weep,
I am not there, I do not sleep.
I am the thousand winds that blow,
I am the diamond glints in the snow,
I am the sunlight on ripened grain.
I am the gentle autumn rain.

As you awake with mornings hush,
I am the swift up flinging rush
Of quiet birds in circling flight....
I am the soft stars that shine at night.

Do not stand at my grave and cry,
I am not there.....
I did not die."

I want to be Cremated but my mom had a fit when she heard that but think of all the olden days they had Funeral Pyres and didnt bury the dead!! Like LadyG said your soul is gone and only a shell remains so I think it is normal

Ash to ash and dust to dust all things return to the earth!!

 I think most now go for cremation as opposed to burial these day's,most Hot climate Countries especially do cremations as the deceased rapidly start to decompose,as for when its my turn  im down for being a stinker iv already got my plot ready and waiting for the big sleep. 

wich ever of me or emz dies first we wanna be cremated n the one alive keeps the ashs then when wic of us is left dies we wud want it so that our ashs r all mixed up  

 Sounds like you got that planned then Tox  My wife was cremated,she wanted it that way,but half the Ashes were interred in a small casket and were buried with our Son,and so will i be one day,buried i mean not cremated  

Good poem  

I'd still rather be buried though.

hmm let me kno when midnitght  

are ur arms n legs okies?
have enough brains  

its limbs that i have trouble wiv on my zombies they wave them about n the stitchs come undone n the y lose them   

     

Tox when the grim reaper does come calling you can do what you like with my body, its still looks hot even when cold  

When over its just a body, and tiger has left the building!  

You haven't got a doll of me have you? I keep waking up with this stabbing pain in my chest  

  

 

LG thats a nice piece or writing. I Wonder if in time churches will charge extra for bodies to stay in their premises. You know a cheap funeral, maybe done like a screen savers or something, and then hit the deceased family members for money every month. One would of thought this could have been a conservative thought

Well there's the cardboard coffin now, the family can keep it plain or decorate it themselves.

My dad wants that and no funeral or service, just straight to the crematorium and done, he wants the money that would pay for a funeral to be spent on a big party for everyone...and he's serious too  

LG. That’s what I want to do, something quick and simple, when my Dad died I thought it was a long winded service. The coffin was in front of everyone, to be honest I rather go without the service, get it done with as fast as possible, hence everyone can go down the pub

There's nobody to fuss over my rotting corpse so i get the privilege of paying to be chucked into my very own muddy pit, push up daises and everyones a winner!
 

 My Thoughts of Cremation  


 ITS HOT IN HERE INNIT   

I've heard it said that when the body is just about to reach the furnace the intense heat makes it sit up...creepy thought eh?  

Sounds Smokin!  

LG the best way to prevent that is not to be buried until 14 days have pass from when you die, your kept in the fridge
