Subject: DOES GOD AGREE WITH CREMATION |
Bible Note: Johnny There is nothing improper about cremation. When the body dies it goes through a process of decay or oxidation. Burning is nothing more than speeding up the process or rapid oxidation. Look in your chemistry books. Death in the USA has become big business and a typical funeral costs about 6,000-10,000 dollars while a typical cremation can be done for under 1000. It is in the funeral homes best interest to insure people are buried rather than cremated. That is why they always say “if that is how you want your loved one to be treated” when being asked about the option of cremation. The question is who do you want to make richer, your estate or the funeral home? I refuse to make a funeral home rich by my death because they have been able to promote the idea that “the money spent on a funeral is directly related to the degree of love you held for the person and your sorrow of their lost”. I have instructed my heirs to insure I get cremated and done as inexpensive as possible. Dust to dust and ashes to ashes cremation just makes the process faster. It ain’t me anyhow, it is my “earth suit” I’ll be home with Jesus! EdB |
