Ashes to ashes...


Ashes to ashes... to a lump of semi-burned remains. After reading what the cremation process involves, I'm disputing what we are/were taught to believe. It's not so easy.
I think bible experts have different thoughts about this, but a burned body leaves a lump. Teeth don't turn to dust. Most of the bones and remains have to be crushed by special machines.

If they had cremation chambers thousands of years ago, I'm sure they weren't fueled to 2,000 degrees Fahrenheit like the ones we have today. Not close.

Two years ago, a coworker died unexpectedly. He was in his 40's. We are coming up on the anniversary of his passing and I'll be asking the other workers/friends to get together to celebrate his life. He was cremated and his ashes were sprinkled over the land he owned in the middle of the state were he often used as a weekend retreat.

When I die, for all I care, they can feed me to the pigs. I'll bed dead. What do I care what they do with my remains. I used to tell my sons to just put me in a big garbage bag and leave me at the curb for the garbage man on Thursday.

I told my daughter to use my ashes to plant a tree.

If you're giving your ashes as nutrient to a tree, save the cremation money and have them bury you intact. That's real fertilizer for a tree... not ashes.
