I will like to have your views on these major burial practiced, wish one will you prefer?. on what moral ground, environment issues or economic implication can you solidify your reasons for the type of method you assume should be the most preferred choice . below are summary of how this method are carried out.

CREMATION

It is the combustion, vaporization and oxidation of cadavers to basic chemical compounds, such as gases, ashes and mineral fragments retaining the appearance of dry bone. this is use as an alternative to place the dead body in a coffin or casket. though the ashes remains of the dead victim which do not constitute a health risk, may be buried or interred in memorial sites or cemeteries, or they may be retained by relatives and dispersed in various ways. some family too keep it a bottle with the photograph of the victim, it is as an alternative in place of burial or other forms of disposal in funeral practices.

In many countries, cremation is usually done in a crematorium. Some countries, such as India and Nepal, prefer different methods, such as open-fire on the dead victim. No western countries use open fire but they use gas power or electrifying method.

i attached a video of cremation below, please it might not be pleasant to the eyes if you do not have the gut to watch it.

ORGAN DONATION

Organ donation is when a person allows an organ of theirs to be removed, legally, either by consent while the donor is alive or after death with the assent of the next of kin. in this case, lets assume its after death. some says they will donate their entire body to science for the purpose of research and growth . others simply says they will donate the transplantable organ and tissue of their body to those who might be of need and while the rest should be discard in whatever form the family chooses. the process can only be perform by professionals.


full blown body burial
this does not need much introduction. as it is the most common method we are all familiar with, it is normal process of putting the dead body in a coffin and submit it to mother earth. the whole body is buried alongside the casket.

Why not two at the same time mr Vaxx?

I donate my vital organs after death and the other "remains" are cremated

whaooooo, what are your reasons ?

whaooooo, what are your reasons ?

Organ donation to help those that need it or for medical research purpose

Cremation cuz I don't like the traditional burial methods in which people would gather round and weep over my dead body while its lowered to the ground. I prefer being turned to ashes and emptied into the closest ocean or sea

interesting. which Cremating method will you suggest? the open fire method , the gas power or electrifying ?

TBH I wasn't aware there are different types but anyone is fine by me so long I'll turn ashes

And this will stop your family from crying over you?

Do you know why people cry at death of a loved one? Love. Love is the reason we cry when we loose our loved ones.

If you do not want (as a matter of fact, what you wish won't matter then) people to cry over you, you may have to be a very wicked and unpleasant man to even a dog you own, because the vaccum it creates and the fact that we won't get to see or banter with you again breaks the hearts of loved ones.


You feel the way you feel maybe because you are an atheist, but no one says an athrists can't be loveable and missed.

If i hear today that you died, i be sad. If for nothing, but for the fact that you are human.

You read a lot into a simple post and ran away with it

Anyways, this thread isn't one for arguments but preferences. give your preferences on how you'd like to be buried rather than getting worked up over my own preferences

my preferences had next to nothing to do with my atheism but I'd be reticent about it

Good,do you consider living a landmark of your remain for your grand children that will serve as an historical sight?

I am completely against cremation--I don't know why, it just seems destructive in my eyes. Yes the body is dead and can't be used except for donation and things, but I wouldn't want that. I'd rather just be barried normally.

I haven't considered it but (without giving it much thoughts) No! pictures and videos are enough however I'm still pretty young so there's a chance my preferences would change with time and certain experience(s)

cool, well, going by age, l will also says am young, but since age is not a determinant factor of death, it is better we plan our death alongside our dreams since it can come at any moment of our age.

i agree with you to some extent on cremation. but being buried in the old traditional way is a little bit greedy to me. what if you donate your organ and save a living ,the transplanted part of you still live while the remain is buried. is that not awesome

No, it's cool! Don't get me wrong. But I'd rather just be barried normally as I don't see myself donating anything of mine to science.

I notice no Abrahamic religion adherents have attended to the thread, they simply look and exit the thread haha

Superstitious set of homos, they think entertaining this thread would make death come faster to them than it should

if anyone doubts me, when in midst of conc Christians bring up this kind of topic and they'll feel uncomfortable and either try to change the topic or straight up tell you never to bring up such topics

lol. so people are scared to die. meanwhile the only ticket to heaven is death. lol

i respect your choice and decision.

I will prefer the type where my remains are cremated and then turned into a beautiful precious diamond which my family can keep. There are some companies offering such services at about $3000 I think.

vaxx:

Yeah, I think its more due to superstition, they believe they'll die faster if they talk about things like these and their avoiding such topics is in their best interest

This has serious disadvantages as most don't write their wills out of such belief too as they think only someone with a terminal illness or near death should be writing wills. So when they eventually die there are certain properties they own that their family is unaware of due to their not writing will and such properties are lost to Omo Onile

Even the properties they really own and their family is aware of also cause a lot of problems as their not leaving a will leads to infighting for who to take over and at what share which can lead to their children killing themselves for properties. That's if extended family members don't take over everything and throw the wife and children into the street

interesting, i heard of it before. but what of your useful organs like tissue and other transplantable ones, will you like to cremate them too, when you can save a living with it. while you donate the rest of the remain to university lab for continuous research rather than just turning it into an ornament.

only few Africans write wills. even among the educated ones. religion like Islam has a standard sharing formula for the deceased that is documented in the quran. other Nigerians just follow the instruction of the family head which often cause wahala, even death in some cases. but whatever it is , wills writing practiced should be encouraged unless the person is a Muslim who already subscribe to the standard of the quran and it is agreed upon by the family.

Well if at the point of death there is someone on a waiting list that truly needs it/them to be saved, why not! It's not the full remains that is needed when converting ashes to diamond anyway.

As for the University labs, I don't think I will be willing to. Yet to reconcile with the fact that young students/scientists will be probing and exposing my body parts. My mind never mature reach that side wey I go think am.

I will love to be cremated and buried under a tree.

Vaxx personally I do not care what happens to my body after I die. Afterall its now in the hands of others and not under my control or directions (if I never even left one). However, even if I did leave instructions and they choose to do otherwise I still wouldn't care because I am no longer in that shell body.

Cremate it, rip every limb and organ out for donation to another who is living, bury it whole, I have no issues with that. All I desire is that even at death, let my life be an exemplary one for the living because we all have a destination whether we agree or not.

Peace.

They convert dead burnt human flesh into beautiful precious diamond? Can they do dogs too, and pigs? Is the 'diamond' worth more than the $3000?

Please send me a link so I can ask them!

insightful comment, but you have an option bro. your writing will can speak for you. if your family member decide to treat your remain otherwise, you can even plan your burial in whatever form your like. and hand it over to an insurance company to execute when you are no more. therefore your wish can still be honored when you die. so at this junction what will you prefer?

As you rightly noted, it is now my remains. It is what is left of the real me. Its now a waste product so I honestly wouldn't want anyone to go through such a hassle over my "remains". If I were to leave a will, I would do so for the living and over what I left for them and not what they choose to do with my " remains". Afterall even if they invite Kirk Franklin to come and sing at my funeral I would no longer respond to him nor appreciate what he came to do since I am now dead and unresponsive. In fact I would be singing and rejoicing in another place and focused on that.

Why should I pay an insurance company for my remains when I can pay them for those I would leave behind who would still be alive when I go?

Oh my god, that's true! I have actually been thinking to have that done when my parents are about to die. Like take some of their hair and turn it into two diamonds to wear.
