Burial is a fusion of spiritual beliefs and cultural practices and those 2 things are very difficult to change.

In India for instance, they're largely Buddhists and cremation is widely practiced while In the Middle East and North Africa, Islam is predominant and cremation is haram in Islam.

Lagos State passed the Lagos State Cremation Law in 2013 authorising voluntary cremation of corpses and corpses unclaimed for 14 days. Since the law was passed, how many people have you heard that were cremated in Nigeria? Ironically, even that law states that after cremation, the ashes are to be BURIED.

Cremation is dead on arrival in Nigeria.

Cremation, you can't forget about the dead easily because the ash can be used to make jewelries which one can hold on to for a lifetime.

The ash urn can also be kept.


Installation of modern enviromentfriendly Crematorium/furnace can cost as low as $30, 000(₦11million)

Cremation of a body can also cost as low as $1500(₦500k)


In ondo, you can bury with less than 100k including coffin, land, and digging.





Cremation is cool if introduced in Nigeria with modern furnace.

But i don't believe is cheap and saying you can forget your dead easily like op stated.

Most people opt for cremation for their ash to be kept, depending on the last wish of the dead.

I know many of you will see this as an insult or disrespect to the dead, I feel the same way. But what use will it be to allow yourself or your brother or your dad! to be eaten up by maggots. Please let's think away from what society allows us to think.

Cremation is a traditional process of converting the dead body into ashes across the globe. The modern process of cremation has been invented to execute the process into the more depending way. With the use of cremation machines, the dead body is placed into it using mechanical aligners or hydraulic lifters.

Once the door is closed, the flame has been introduced to burn the body. After a certain interval of time, the door is opened to recognize the burning operation so that ashes can be returned to the family members.

Ashes can be planted as trees also .

ADVANTAGES OF CREMATION OVER BEEN BURIED

1:its more cheaper than being buried
2:Due to the high population explosion we are experiencing there will come a time when there will be shortage of land to accommodate the growing population,so cremation helps conserve land that will be used in burying the dead .
3:it makes you forget about the dead eaisly .,

So what do you think nairalandlandes,should cremated be encourage in our dear country Nigeria.
4. it won't allow the mining of the dead person skull.

In the 80's when the Indians were dominating our educational sector, the crude cremation was popular among them. I can still remember watching them from my uncles house opposite the cemetery.

I don't think its cheap, cos the gallons of kings vegetable oil they use then could cook for a whole village.

We have more than enough land to be used for burial. Don't you know that from the dust we came and to the dust we shall returned? You didn't want to fertilize the land for the next generations?

Assuming the person cremated is going to hail fire, that means double hail fire. One from � men to the body and finally from God to the soul. For me and my family said no to cremation. Our souls and body is to heaven.
