Life is so unpredictable, we never know when it will end or how will it ends. Some it might happen by accident and some it might be illness that would take us back to the ashes. What would be your final wish, and which would you prefer to be buried of by cremation or traditional burial grave on the land? In your country or place which is the more expensive a cremation or a coffin?

The cremation definitely. I don't think we have them in here., we are really a traditional country. And all the traditions can't be kept when cremating.
But it's really much more easy for relatives, on their soul. It's just, nobody will think that . They all will want to pay their last respects, no matter how hard it is.
If by any chance a creation is available where I die, I hope it will be the way for me.

to be honest with you, i haven't thought that far yet... and i have no idea of the cremation or traditional burial cost here because i never check it yet as well... but i guess the cremation burial will be cheaper because the price of a land here is very expensive... take care and have a nice day...

Either would be fine. Just as long as I'm not alive to experience it, if you know what I mean... :)

For me, it would be exactly the same, I will be no longer here to see or feel it anyway. What is done with my body after I die is not of any importance to me really, so I would chose whatever causes my family and friends the less stress and is easier for them. I go for cremation for myself. Just take the useful organs first to help anyone may need them, then burn me. Simple, no need to worry about keeping the cementery and so.
My family has already some problems with this, by keeping the graves of my grandparents, there were small fights sometimes when it comes to the mainteinance and so, so I prefer to avoid that.

If I die, I want to be cremated. It seems it is the practical choice. It is cheaper. Since I am a nature lover, I would rather use my spot to plant trees in memory of me. hehehe... And since I would like to travel so much, I want my ashes to be scattered everywhere... :D

Hi lovelyvelle, I think the traditional burial is more expensive here but I would chose cremation in any case. For one thing it is much more environmentally friendly and I'll have no more use for it. If I come back here it will be in a new body, I'd really hate the thought of taking up this old one. Blessings.

Hmmm I don't really mind for either of that method actually but I would prefer traditional burial more than the other one as long as my family can afford it. And yes I absolutely agree with you that one life can be ended anytime, anywhere. Thanks for sharing and have a nice day

I will be donating my body to medical research. I will no longer need it, and I want to know that there is a chance it could help cure an illness.
