Thread: What will you do....?

  1. #1

    What will you do....?

    I'm being funny by putting this thread here. I wanted to ask the question "What will you have done with your body when you die?" I figure that is an "end time event" if there ever was one.

    This is prompted by seeing another Christian friend say they're donating their body to a university medical school. In fact, the most mature and admired Christian I know is doing that. My wife wants to be cremated. I want to be buried. I've heard that cremation arose from the notion that the ashes from cremation can't be resurrected and so sinners from the middle ages thought they'd escape judgment if they were cremated. I think we're supposed to honor our body, that's why I'm going for a burial.

    Assuming the rapture doesn't come first, what is your plan?

    Organ donation, if there's anything worth using and then probably cremation. It's cheaper by a long shot. Don't need to waste money on a fancy box for my cold, dead body.

    My brain will be dissected and donated into the heads of 10000 left liberals and they will have an automatic increase of intelligence and common sense

    I agree with you Bookman. I'm going for burial as well. Something eerie about creamation. I guess its the burning in a "fiery furnace" that creeps me out.

    That's funny because the thought of people coming and peering at my dead body lying there creeps me out. "The Viewing." ick

    Hahaha! Some folks look better after death. I'm just saying.

    Seems their loved ones go out of their way to fix'em up, but new clothes on them, hire a stylist to fix their hair, etc. Treat them better than they did when they were alive in some cases. But I get your point. :

    A friend of mine instructed her family to have a closed casket. They abided by her wishes, and only a few of us got to see her in a special service held for close family & friends. Other than that, the casket remained closed the entire funeral.

    We are going for cremation and then to the nearby Nat. Cemetery. The cost of today's funerals is ridiculous. Another thing I consider is all that is done to bodies to prepare them for today's burials is anything but respectful to the deceased, verging on desecration.

    James Robison could provide more than one water well in a third world country for the cost of a funeral.

    You could try cremation then scattering the ashes around the globe ala Moonraker.
