In fact, we respect the completeness of the body so much that we buried the tip of our daughter's finger when she lost it in an accident. Also, when my dad had his legs amputated due to Diabetes, each toe, leg, etc. went into the cemetery ground. Then when he died, all the pieces were dug up and buried in one pine box. I didn't, however, bury my uterus. I guess that means I won't be baring children in the afterlife. ;)Catch My Wordshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06338761214938263819noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8063731082086337074.post-5291813224452698502012-07-04T10:38:18.450-05:002012-07-04T10:38:18.450-05:00Love the simplicity of the thoght thread here and ...Love the simplicity of the thoght thread here and so much cremation...just do the same for me and spread my ashes over a nice waterfall somewhere.

You are right that once you are dead you can't enjoy it anymore and anything spent on a funeral is like throwing money away.
