I thought he asked that he be aquamated. why cremate his body against his wish or am i missing out on something.

ThatFairGuy1:
So he was cremated

From frying pan.....

TMKsouth:


I was highlighting the ridiculousness of his point.

Akwamkpuruamu:
Even if my loved one chooses to be cremated at death, I won't honor that instruction and nothing go happen

miqos02:
same way your wishes won't be honoured when your time comes.

christejames:
I am gradually taking likings for cremation ooo,(see the small space the ash will be finally interred) but in Nigeria it's still being frowned at, like saying, how do you burn a corpse making it pass through fire in death while it went through the same fire in the country while alive?


RIP Bishop.

Akwamkpuruamu:
Was he cremated, as to turn into ashes rather than aquamated? But what if the will of the dead isn't obeyed, what will happen? I can't burn my loved one, its unafrican. Even if my loved one chooses to be cremated at death, I won't honor that instruction and nothing go happen

Same thing - just different processes. Aquamation is eco-friendly.

Is that all the ash?

Bring me the rest and I can extract his DNA and create his copy in my simulation if apartheid occurs.

OnyeMmeri:
I never knew Christians practice cremation. I can't imagine holding someone's ashes in my hands.

lagonovo:

Hmmm you sound so authoritative on this. I wonder how the physical body is of any use to the dead? Won't cremation or aquamation only hasten the decomposition process of a physical body that is no longer of use for anything?

When I'm full of life and no more, I prefer being turned into diamonds.

Until we meet again

Quick quastion...

1. Was it right to have burnt his body?
2. Was it right to have buried his ashes inside the church?
