I wanna be buried. I just don't dig cremation - if ya get what I mean! The whole idea of having a send off, either burial or cremation, is to help the people you left behind recover after your gone - their "closure" I think the americans call it. When you're buried there is the grave to visit - which, as I have found, can be very useful for genealogical research! I discovered ten members of my family in the summer from their Grave stones! When you get cremated, there is nothing, at least in Britain. You can't keep the ashes, except in sme posh crematoriums where you can have a plaque. But it ain't really the same. You can't really think, that's where my grandad is, at least I know where he is, I can keep an eye on him, and I know he's safe.Know what I mean? I just know that I want to buried in our family plot in South Shileds, with my grandparents and my two uncles. It's all I've ever thought I wanted when I'm gone. but I suppose the Bible doesn't mind whih way you go - it makes it right for wither way - dust to dustm ashes to ashes!
