It can be seen that way. Neil deGrasse Tyson agrees with you. OTOH, it’s a way to conserve cemetery space and reduce the environmental impact of graveyards.
Comment on What happens when people die with metal on or on them?
chunkystyles@sopuli.xyz 11 months agoI didn’t believe you. So I looked it up. I had no idea how hot cremation was. What a waste of energy.

Sure, but cremation isn’t the only other alternative.

trees are cool. literally a and metaphorically. having your posymoryem body, turned into a tree, is a relly cool option, in my opinion.good thing is that a it’s pretty widely avalable and doable too, in many places. 💀🌱 🌳 🌳🌲🌳🌲🌲🌱
Heres some resources that might be helpful with planning for that tree, aka green or natural, burial, ahead of time (and ensuring that thise wishes are carried out later) , if you haven’t allready: www.orderofthegooddeath.com/…/green-burial/ and www.greenburialcouncil.org/interactive-maps.html
and to metión green burials in another jurisdiction, , www.naturaldeath.org.uk/index.php?page=find-a-nat…
Hopefully some of that may be helpful.

An animal does not know pain until it dies since most injuries are fatal without societal support. Humans know the pain of dying and prolong it. Which is more brutal?

I learned this listening to true crime podcasts. Killers often try to burn bodies but it doesn’t work because you need an actual furnace to reduce a body down to ash.

There’s an episode of Nathan For You where he tries to test if a pizza oven will cremate a body but he gave up after a few hours lol
