Is that kinda like the towers in India where the buzzards do the recycling work ?

Re: Cremation or Burial?

As an old guy, I spent a lot of time in cemeteries with relatives while paying respects to dead relatives. Sometimes even picnic'ing there. People don't do that much anymore. Cemeteries are pretty much missing visitors these days. I've been to some Easter sunrise services held at cemeteries, four or five times, 50 years ago...

I'll be the first in my entire family tree to be cremated.

At some point cemeteries, even the 'perpetual care' ones, will be demolished and covered over with something more useful like so many in the big cities of Europe and UK have been.
