Cremate or Bury

Losing a love one is devastating. Making the decision how to dispose of their bodies is equally heart rending. Do you think when people die from covid or other easily transmissible diseases their bodies should be cremated? Do major disasters like earthquakes, volcanic eruption or tornadoes uproot old graves and diseases? Could Covid be the Spanish flu in another form

Cremation is not looked upon in my religion. We already have our gravesites bought and paid for.

Really.So suppose you cannot afford to buy the gravesite? What is the name of your religion ?

that is all questions I have had too. I think cremation is best. I have my hubby's ashes in an urn in my closet. It helped my loosing him to feel I still had him near me

It is an individual choice, but I think better enviormentally to be cremated and it is also cheaper. I plan to be cremated.

My relatives and myself have placed in our wills to be cremated instead of being buried. To answer your question about Covid, it could be Spanish flu since a handful of persons who lived in the era of Spanish flu have stated that there are similar symptoms.

Why have you made such an early decision to be cremated?

@askme123 The decision was made since my older sister who lives out of state wants all of us which include myself and my two older sisters to be prepared for the end of my life time instead of having a family battle whether to be buried or cremated.

What made you think covid is another spanish flu? what made spanish flu similar to covid? My Grandma got cremated because it was the only available way to bury her. They didn't allow land burial at the height of the lock down.

I dont know if it is related to Spanish Flu.I am just wondering because the two pandemics have similar symptoms
