Just when Megan retires her MAgic City/ Strokers attire, she goes and

Warning: Some of this post may conjure up graphic images. As a youngan I used to deliver circulars (aka Junk Mail) for a bit of extra cash. One of the houses had the word Death written on the letter box. Later I worked out this was pronounced De Ath. What has this got to do about my travels in the Netherlands? I don't know but its certainly a more religious country than NZ. The question arose one day Burial or Cremation? The answers I'm sure vary greatly depending upon your religious beliefs, the impact on the environment and a number of other factors. Whilst staying with a friend in London a few years back he comment that they may be doing "double-decker" burials at the local graveyard soon. I certainly didn't think would happen but many city graveyards are simply running out

Some people prefer cremation for personal reasons, maybe because they are not attracted to traditional burial or the thought of a long, slow decomposition process is unappealing to them. They also prefer cremation because it disposes of the body immediately. The cost factor tends to make cremation attractive as well, because generally speaking, it is less expensive than traditional burial services.
Cremation The ceremonny that visitor to Bali are most likely to witness is cremation (Pengabenan or Palebonan), the most spectacular manifestation of religious observance on the island. Following death, the bady must be returned to the five elements of solid, liquid, energi, radiance and ether to become ready for reincarnation.It is usually buried, sometimes for years, while elaborate preporation are made: animal must be slaughter, holy water aquared, and gamelan, dancer and puppets show organized. An animal-shaped sarcophagus is built from a solid tree runk, covered with paper and cloth and decorate with mirrors, tassels and tinsel.The cremation toward has tiers, at the base of which a small bale houses and effigy of the dead person and the body itself.

In the meantime the body of the deceased is temporarily buried. Family members first wash and groom the corpse, then wrap it in cloths and mats. A raw egg is rolled across it and smashed to the ground, removing all impurities. The body is then transported to the cemetery on a simple bier and buried without a casket.Once a favorable day has been set, an army of r
Retired pipefitter, Army veteran and cancer survivor Russell Parsons says he’s not afraid to die — and he’s got the tattoo to prove it.Inside the yellow and orange flaming tattoo on his right arm are instructions to the funeral home where he has a prepaid cremation: “Barlow Bonsall cook 1700-1800 for 2 to 3 hours.”“It’s a recipe,” the 67-year-old widower from Hurricane said. “It’s a recipe for cremation."Barlow Bonsall Funeral Home and Crematorium manager Linda Wilson said she thought Parsons was joking several weeks ago when he said he was going to have his final wishes tattooed on his arm.“I never thought he would actually do it,” she said Tuesday.She wasn’t the only one.‘I’m afraid of life’Parsons said the tattoo artist who gave him his first and only tattoo said his request was among the craziest he’d ever received in 22 years.“I told him, ’Well, take a look because I’m one of a kind.”’Parsons, who survived a brush with cancer in 1999 and
Comment: Tradition vis-a-vis environment? The arguments are sound, it may force us to rethink over how things are done in preparations for the afterlife. By Sakina MohamedMELBOURNE, April 18 (Bernama) -- You can still play a part in preventing global warming after you die - by not opting for your body to be cremated.Prof Roger Short of the University of Melbourne said the average Australian male produces over 50kg of carbon dioxide (CO2) during cremation as the body is heated to 850 degrees Celsius for an hour and a half.And that's not counting the carbon cost of the fuel and the cost of emissions involved in producing and burning the wooden coffin, he added."Think earth to earth, but not ashes to ashes or dust to dust," he said at the Fifth World Science Journalist Conference here, Wednesday.Short's idea came in the wake of China's policy of encouraging cremation due to lack of space and the Hindu practice in India of burning the body on a funeral pyre made with woo
Hindu funerals in Bali are intensely suggestive ceremonies of great cultural and religious signifi- cance. Requiring a complex apparatus and characterized by a large following, funerals are centered on cre- mation of the body, known as ngaben or pelebon. This practice is considered essentig if the 5 ele- ments making up the microcosm of the human body are to be returned to their original residence, the universe's macrocosm. The five elements, Panca Maha Bhuta, are the earth (pertivvi), water (apah), fire (teja), air (bayu), and ether (akasa). Since the pri- mordial dimension can only be attained through water and fire, the ashes are dispersed in the waters of the sea or if the distance is too great, in a river. The funeral ceremony is generally led by a priest and punctuated by a lavish offering of gifts. For the occasion, a large bullock-shaped wooden structure is built and then entirely covered with white drapes if the deceased belongs to a priestly caste; in black. There are ceremo
