As long as the cemetery is not hardened with cement, vegetation will still grow.
In rural areas, burying people does not occupy farmland, is environmentally friendly, and can be converted into fertilizer. Cremation pollutes the environment. Cremation costs money, and burial of ashes costs money. It costs a lot to go to the cemetery, and it also costs money. Years have expired, and the land has to be occupied, which hurts both sides. It is better to follow the thousands of years of burial customs, respect the dead, and give future generations a meaning to worship. Otherwise, there will be no body, so what is the purpose of worshiping?
Mother Earth has given birth to all things and nourished human beings. People come from the earth and return to the earth. This is their destination. The key is not to occupy cultivated land, leave no graves, innovate the funeral model, and support tree burial. The rural areas continued to be destroyed after the fire, just for the sake of formality. There were no shortage of coffins, paper, and rituals. There are just more cremation procedures. Then after the cemetery was centralized, it was also nondescript. There were no names on the monuments, and most of them were buried. Then we have to build a mourning hall where the urns of the public servants are stored together. They refuse to put them at home. Apart from paying more money, there is no benefit.
In rural areas, after cremation, you still have to be buried in the ground! What is this for! Accounted for both! Isn't it just a waste of time? Apart from polluting the environment and wasting manpower and financial resources, does it have any effect?
The high cost of cremation is caused by the funeral monopoly, not cremation. If burial is also monopolized, the cost will actually be higher. Another calculation you made is wrong. My grandmother passed away this year, so the expenses are not like yours. First of all, there is no cremation fee. The government pays for this fee. We only need to pay for the urn. The level is decided by individuals. There is no money to save the body. Now it is almost like burning it on the same day as the death, or leaving it overnight at most. The urns, plastic surgery, storage, etc. you mentioned are all services and can be optional. For example, if you want to store the urn, can't you take it home and store it? Of course, no one wants to, but they don’t want to put the corpse at home!
If you say that the body was buried directly, would the urn still be stored if there is a place for burial? There are funeral parlor occupancy expenses. Are there no such expenses for burials? Don’t you still want to find a place to hold the funeral? Isn’t there still this fee? Speaking of the tomb, the amount of work required to bury an urn is not comparable to that of digging a pit for a coffin, right? Dig a pit half a meter square for the urn and bury it. As for the coffin, you need to dig it at least three meters deep! It must be one meter wide and two meters long! Is it cheaper for you to hire someone to dig this hole? We all know that the cost of cement far exceeds that of cement. To dig such a deep pit, the tomb must be hardened. Who in the modern world still needs that much money? The coffin is not covered directly with soil. People always have to contend with nature. No one wants their loved ones' remains to rot as quickly as possible after burial. Therefore, don’t think that burial is environmentally friendly.
I firmly oppose cremation, which is extremely smoky. The chimney only reaches the sky. With rain. That poisonous gas fell directly into the human world. Down to the well, down to the soil. He caused harm to the people of the world and was buried in the ground after the fire. It's more than ten times more troublesome than a burial. So burial is best. Rest in peace. First of all, cremation needs to be burned, and it needs to be burned with oil, which pollutes the air. If both decay and burning are oxidized, then cremation will also burn additional oil and pollute the air. Secondly, it must be driven to the county town by car for cremation, and the car burns oil. Pollute the air. Burials are usually done in the same village.
Cremation requires existing energy processing and produces a large amount of smoke. Burial is a natural biological decomposition process that does not require human intervention. From a purely human body treatment perspective, burial is more energy-saving and environmentally friendly.
Burial and cremation should be adapted to local conditions. Cremation is carried out in places with large populations in big cities to occupy less land. Cremation in small cities or mountainous areas can only increase the cremation fee for the family of the deceased. When talking about the land occupation issue , these places occupy land that is not suitable for growing crops.
China is a country of etiquette, everything is about inheritance, the essence is continued, and the dross is removed. The deceased is honored and buried in peace, which is also part of the inheritance of filial piety. Any society must be people-oriented to have vitality, adapt to local conditions, and respect traditions to reflect the harmony of the people.
It is certain that burial is environmentally friendly. The human body itself is biodegradable. Burying it underground will not only not pollute the air, but also provide nutrients to plants. But cremation is different. It seems to be ascending to heaven, but in fact, the burning particles not only pollute the air, but are also easily absorbed by living people.
From the perspective of environmental protection, burial is environmentally friendly. Everything returns to nature. Some things need to be changed, such as the coffin wood, and the burial must be deep. Of course, deep burial can be considered in mountainous areas. But cremation is different. Combustion gas emissions, burning fuel, labor costs, the area occupied by the cremation site, the cement required to build the tomb, etc., etc., all of these show that cremation wastes resources and increases emissions of pollution compared to burial!
I think it’s better to be buried! When a person dies, the bones are not dead. If they are buried in a good place, the bones will have spirituality and can sense future generations! This is Feng Shui! There are many people who are sentient within the blood relationship! For example, if a parent suddenly becomes seriously ill or dies, some of the children will suddenly feel uncomfortable that day, and something is wrong! This is perception! After a person dies, the bones are still there. If you raise the bones in a good place, they will sense the descendants! May future generations be safe and happy. The human body is the host of the soul, and this host has a lifespan. When the host dies, no one knows where the soul goes, but the soul must exist, and theoretically it should be immortal.
The biggest obstacle for human beings to carry out interstellar travel in the universe is the host. Modern scientific and technological research shows that only by replacing the host of the human soul, that is, the physical body, can long-distance interstellar travel be possible. Current scientific and technological research has proven that this goal is achievable. Future technology can download human souls into computers or robot computers, and humans can achieve immortality. When machines are worn out, they can be replaced with new ones at any time. Ideology can thereby achieve immortality and then complete tasks that would take hundreds of millions of years to complete.
When a person dies, he or she can be buried or cremated, as long as it is appropriate. Man is actually an animal. He is smarter than other animals while alive, but there is no difference after death. The soul is a fictitious thing. When a person dies, he is dead and nothing will exist. Fictional things can only be self-comfort and conjecture!
Actually, I don’t see the advantages of cremation. First of all, there is the issue of cost, or resource consumption. Burial requires a coffin, which wastes wood to a certain extent. But now in rural areas, even if people are cremated, they are still buried in coffins. Even if you use an urn, the price is not cheap. Secondly, the problem of land occupation is not solved whether it is burial or cremation or a grave. Therefore, occupation of land for cremation has not been solved. Then there is the issue of rotting corpses polluting the environment. If a single corpse is buried in the soil instead of piles of corpses stacked in the open, how much pollution can it cause to the environment?
It is better to bury the body. The fallen leaves will return to their roots. At least the body will be intact. Cremation will also have cremation fees, cemetery fees and cleaning fees. If a five-guarantee household in the city dies, no one will die. Cremation is so cruel. Cremation is better for urban residents, but burial is better for rural residents.
Everyone understands the truth. The problem is that if all rural areas are buried, the business of the crematorium will be greatly reduced, and the annual income will be lost to hundreds of thousands or even millions. Besides, in rural areas, every household has its own forest land and a hill for its own use. The dead are buried on their own hill. What about the built cemetery?
All things grow in the soil, and all things return to the earth. After being buried in the ground, the organs will naturally return to the earth after a few decades, and the cemetery will be good for hundreds of years. This is a real waste of land resources, so in the long run, burial in the ground is reasonable. After a person is reincarnated, his memory is reset, so there is no point in having a soul. If the soul carries all consciousness and memories after death, then the soul has a temporary meaning. If after death the memories of previous lives live on, like so many movies, then the soul makes perfect sense.
I agree to follow the local folk customs, bury in the ground, everything returns to the soil, and everything grows in the soil. This is the law of nature. After a person dies, the burial fertilizes the earth, sublimating the land, and will never waste the land. , China has experienced thousands of years of burials, is there no land use now? In fact, the greatest harm, pollution and waste to land is mining, building chemical plants, and real estate development!
Although burial is good, there are too many people now, and there is a lot of land. It will take at least hundreds of years for all the corpses in the coffin to rot. It is better to reform. Cremation is indeed not accepted by most people, but it still has advantages over burial. The point is that now cremation does not take advantage of its advantages. Instead, it consumes more money and takes up more space than burial. However, this is all man-made. Since the starting point is In order to save money and occupy less space, a thorough funeral reform is needed, and secondary burials and tombs with plaques are not allowed.
Burial is in line with the rules of nature. The red dust turns into mud throughout life. Born in nature and returned to nature. The oil resources of the earth are attributed to the corpses of animals and plants. There is no land for burial in the city. You can rent land in the countryside 10/ 20-year property rights, which can also balance urban and rural incomes, and the earth's resources are also replenished.
Cremation hall burials should be chosen by the owner, and cannot be one-size-fits-all. For example, in remote mountainous areas, places with inconvenient transportation, or in rural areas with mountains and fields that do not affect the environment. If you really want to be buried, you should follow the wishes of the owner. . If cremation is more affordable and more affordable than burial, then burial must be used. Now the standard cost of cremation must be made public.
Adapt measures to local conditions and take advantage of the situation. Burial is better in mountainous areas, but centralized cemeteries are actually unsightly, and they accumulate more and more over time. After decades of scattered burials, they basically collapsed and disappeared naturally.
