It’s been a continuous debate, what to do with the human dead bodies? What should be an ideal way??
What is your honest take ? ( Leave alone the religion for time-being )

5 Proofs Why Burying Is Better Than Burning Dead Body
You might know this Burying dead body vs Burning dead body is a great debate in countries where Hindus, Muslims Or Christians live together, especially in India. Hindus and Sikhs follows burning while Muslims and Christians follows burying process. Here I like to mention 5 prove that why burying dead body is far better than burning. In today?s science world where many people only believes in scientifictheories, I also like to raise some scientific points so it?s easy for anyone to understand.
1) Soil Fertilized in Burying Dead Body
Our body particles are very similar to particles of our soil, when body remain there for few years, that will dissolves in soil. So that soil will be more fertile.
2) Wood Save in Burying Process
Burning process is really playing it?s part in forest cutting. It is the only cause which consumes more than 100 ton wood per day in India alone. If we compare this with Burying, then that is really straightforward.
3) Air Polluted in Burning Dead Body
Burning dead bodies is one of the ordinary cause in air pollution. When you burn a body, smoke really hurt your environment as well as damage your health. But in burying process, nothing like this.
4) Much Less Expense in Burying
Buying wood, buying oil is an expensive task in burning dead body. Annually hundreds and thousands of dollars serve in this, only because Hindus burn their dead bodies in India. As compared to this, burying dead bodies is very cheap and simple. It cost you less than half from burning.
5) Human Body Components Present In Soil
It?s scientifically proved that most of the elements that are present in human body are also in minor or higher quantity in the soil. Hence it is more reasonable, as it?s really easy to get decompose and mix in soil. So Burying process is always a winner in any case.
……………………………
However,
arguments only hold if bodies were buried just like that....and not in a coffin and with tombstones - Waste of wood again.
if you bury as normally happens:
1. soil is replaced by barren concrete/stone
2. wood not saved if used wooden coffin with special wood laminated with metal/other materials
3. in the long run, the elements will return to nature whether you burn or bury...remember there is no fission or fusion taking place, it is just combustion
4. again, the expense depends on how you decide to bury and what quality of coffin, etc you use. in most countries it will be more expensive to bury because you have to buy land. there is also ongoing maintenance cost with managing the grave
5. same point as 3
6. Tons of wasted lands ( sometimes in mid of commercial areas ) in terms of cemetaries
Questions::
Is burning is still the best way..... since in usa they dont use wood. they will light u up on a grill after u r dead... in 30 mins everything is gone... only ashes left...no wood required
Is Burying and Bird-feeding dangerous??... Say a person is dead with toxic, poison, or deadly virus disease, it may spread in birds and species ?
Is burning is better, no chance of bhoot! bhoot can arise from the buried. that alone offsets any other reason ! ( j/k)
burn using incinerator... bury and the dead will arise to kick arse !!!
What is your honest thoughts????
Mulch in.
Thx.
