As one goes out the back the next one is coming through the front, the ovens never get time to cool down. Makes you realise what an industrial process it is. Takes the sentimentality out of it somewhat. The thing is Ron, when you go into the oven does that include the coffin? I could google I suppose but if that is the case it seems that when the relitive collects the ashes it's like being short changed thinking it's only the humans ashes that are left? Plus those who are into recycling would prefer the body only option. |

Business opportunity here perhaps?
Rentabox coffins for hire. They are only needed for a couple of days and would last decades with perhaps the occasional change of lining. |

You could even have some sponsorship with a discreet Macdonalds logo on the end nearest the congregation.

There's no such thing as death.
This experience is some sort of test, a 3d arcade game with unknown rules, which I am playing until the end of the level. Everyone else is just a character in my game. As soon as they leave my vision they cease to be. thank f*^k. My consciousness builds and expands every day with each day's experience. It is inconceivable that it could ever 'die'. |

your body ages every day and you will be dead like the rest of us

I often wonder what those people think who say they expect to see their friends and relations on the other side.
What will the setting be ,what age will they be ,what will they be wearing and what will they be doing ? It's utterly weird that some people harbour notions like this. Plus - will they also encounter people they would wish not to. |

I can't say as I really fear death, but I do fear the idea of dying before I've had a chance to do all the stuff I want to do. I might not always show it, but I do quite enjoy being alive.

Are we sure the ashes are just of our relative, and not a mixture of half a dozen cremations. |

Ashes are ashes and no longer the person who died. It's what the recipient thinks he/she is getting that matters not what it actually is, (although I don't doubt the crematorium staff do their best).

With the rise of multiculturalism, I am surprised not to see semi-burnt, decomposing carcasses on rafts floating down our inland waterways.

Crems are highly regulated. In my great experience of dealing with crems, I have never come across one run in an unsympathetic way or like a factory (that doesn't mean they don't exist. If you are aware of one like that, favour a different one with your custom. There are plenty from which to choose. I hope this is of assistance. I am also aware of a vast increase in non religious, humanist ceremonies.
