We need to change how we bury the dead

The way we traditionally bury the dead is horrible for the environment.

The modern way of burying a body, the "casket in the ground method" most of us are used to is horrible for the environment. It uses an incredible amount of resources, emits toxic pollutants into the air, and pumps the ground full of formaldehyde, which is known to cause cancer. It's also prohibitively expensive. The average cost of a modern funeral costs between $10,000 to $12,000.
There are a number of greener options available though. Cremation uses less resources and requires less space than a traditional burial, but isn't perfect. There are more experimental methods on the horizon such as promession and alkaline hydrolysis.
No matter which method we choose, it's clear that we need to reform how we bury the dead.

As a Muslim, you give the body a ritual bath, wrap them in a white shroud and lay them to rest in a cemetery. The funeral has to be done within the day of death. No embalming, no casket, nothing. Just you and the Earth. It’s to show that, despite what you have in the world, you’re alone and without worldly belongings at the end. And a lesson to the living to be humble about our worldly possessions.

[@roxyshow123]

Arriane Malum - That seems fitting and very dignified.

[@shmuelgoldstein9020]

Interesting. A Jewish burial is the same.

[@badgesstripes4402]

@@shmuelgoldstein9020 You will be amazed, both religions are linked. The history of the Jewish people begins in Bronze Age times in the Middle East when God promised a nomad leader called Abram that he would be the father of a great people if he did as God told him. Jews regard Abraham (as he was later called) as the first Patriarch of the Jewish people. Abraham was the first person to teach the idea that there was only one God; before then, people believed in many gods. Abraham is also extremely important as a leader of Islam and as a patriarch of the Islamic faith. Muslims recognize Abraham as the ancestor through whom many other prophets and saints (Wali) came, including Moses, Jesus (Isa) and Muhammad. So you will find many common things between muslims and jews.

I always found the idea of a natural burial to be so appealing. I personally view it as a way to give myself to the earth after I've gone. Probably sounds crazy wanting to be used as food by other living creatures but to me it's like living on through whatever eats my decomposing body.

[@MisteMiner]

So the chicken I ate in my croatian chicken dinner last night is living on through me?

[@MariusPartenie]

Yes. Your digestive tract breaks down the chicken you ate and some of the chicken molecules end up in your cells. New cells can be made up from what you ate as well.

[@MariusPartenie]

@unknown - It doesn't sound crazy at all. I think of it as the circle of life. We eat plants and animals. When I die, I don't see any better use for my body than it getting decomposed and be used by other plants and animals as food.

I donated my mothers body to science care after she died. It was absolutely free, the company has the most compassionate customer service and after they were done harvesting what they could to save other peoples’ lives, they cremated her for free and delivered the ashes to my door. This was completely free and I’ve never felt anything but grateful for the service they provided my siblings and I. Burying her was out of the question; it costs upwards of 35 grand. Even regular cremation started at 1200 bucks. Science Care. I tell you now it’s the best thing you can do.

That is a great way to do it...especially if a loved one died from Cancer. They can study the body and possible find the cure to that particular type of disease. But most people feel that they have to have some ultra expensive funeral just to prove that they loved their parents...which is silly.

Yee why not just put my body with a bunch of kids that will break my skull open. 😂 I’m kidding good idea tho.

[@boistired6825]

pandee yeahhhh about that, many companies use those bodies for things they didn’t ask for. Like selling them or using them as test dummies.

[@rr____7-j4y]

I'd donate my body to science

[@Drchrdsn3030]

Lola Green That’s actually not true in the UK. Also, even if it was - you’re dead, who cares.

[@boistired6825]

Daniel Rchrdsn It’s in the US. Personally I wouldn’t care that much but if someone says, my body is Alzheimer’s testing only, you should use it as such.

[@ecmc1072]

I love how this was posted 3 years ago, and I'm still being told by my mort sci instructors that it's the only way to do it

[@mattmoney6654]

When I die I want to be placed in the ground with no coffin as he said the video and I want them to plant a tree right above where they placed my body so the tree can use my body as nutrients and fertilizer to me that’s a beautiful way to be disposed

[@alexandriacandler2877]

matthew diryawush I think if cemeteries did natural burials they would become amazing forest. That would be cool.

Bio-urn

[@joseangelhernandez5274]

I always said that too, I want the earth to take my body back.

[@zwagig1761]

That's how I would want.

[@reieben886]

Approved joey nope if people do it voluntarily and happily i guess.. most haunted places are battlefield, prison, mass execution grave, massacres and murder sites

[@Davidxwud]

In Islam, it is required to bury the body without a casket, unless required by law.

[@solomonpilot2510]

[@SimplyXtra]

Solomon Pilot wut

[@richdanielfrancisco1489]

That can spread diseases

[@zzzKyliezzz]

Eh? What? But my mom was buried IN a casket... ....and we happen to be in a Muslim country....

[@ALDEEM]

He is talking about the way Muslims are buried so if someone is not Muslim, it is fine they can be buried in a casket

[@emiliahyde1297]

I'm probably going to get cremated, and have my ashes turned into a record that rickrolls you

[@alexb6424]

walrustatic 2010 called they want their joke.

[@Boosted_aj]

alex burnite you do know how hypocritical and ironic that joke was right?

[@Cloudeusz]

Walrustastic you can do that?

[@flhla_g1]

don't you will feel the burns even if you are dead this is not a joke

[@mechwarrior5727]

that would be amazing

[@daljotsingh4918]

You missed an important way of doing that ritual: *offering it to the water* . The fish feast on the body while the river or ocean bed takes care of the skeleton. That's how it's done in many parts of India other than cremation.
