Re: Burial or cremation?
What other choice is there besides one of the two? Burial at sea? Eaten by zombies?Storyteller wrote:I don't fancy either.

I think it's something left up to personal beliefs. Between you and God.
Any reason you ask?
John 5:24
24 “Truly, truly, I say to you, he who hears My word, and believes Him who sent Me, has eternal life, and does not come into judgment, but has passed out of death into life.

I dont like the idea of either. Not scared of death but I dont know, its cold and dark under the earth and fire scares me.

Are you planning on still being alive when you're dead? If not, then I don't think you have to worry about feeling the fire, or being cold under ground.

I want my ashes to be either crushed into a diamond or flung into space.

Hebrews 12:2-3 Looking unto Jesus the author and finisher of our faith;who for the joy that was set before him endured the cross,despising the shame,and is set down at the right hand of the throne of God.
2nd Corinthians 4:4 In whom the god of this world hath blinded the minds of them which believe not,lest the light of this glorious gospel of Christ,who is the image of God,should shine unto them.
