Doesn't cremation release all your energy at once? With decomposition it happens slowly and you could end up a delicious tomato?

I haven't filled out a formal advance directive yet with my doctor, but yes, that's what I'd love to see happen.

Cremation? What is wrong with cremation?
This physical body is dust.

I don't think anyone is saying anything is wrong with it. Only that some people seem to need to opportunity to view the corpse for a sense of closure. That was how I felt about it, anyway, at my brother's funeral. But, I realized that it was an emotional response, and not rational.

My mother was cremated before I ever even got into town and I know that some of her Christian friends were looking for her body at the funeral and were somewhat shocked to be told that only her ashes remained in a jar at the front of the church.

I'm not so sure about that Rain. I was pro cremation for EVERYONE prior to coming to the know the Lord. But after, I noticed I felt an uneasiness in my Spirit about it. I can't tell you why, He's never shown me, but something changed in me regarding it. Peace

I've known of 2 cases where the body was displayed in a casket at the funeral home so people could have a normal visitation. Later the rental casket was returned and the body cremated.
