I hope to be cremated and a part of my ashes spread on the sea.
I preach a lot about sustainable environments and ecopolis.

Do you know many houses/roads in Nigeria were once former grave yard sites. Your burial ground today may just become the new Shopping mall site tomorrow grin

Cremation, you can't forget about the dead easily because the ash can be used to make jewelries which one can hold on to for a lifetime.

The ash urn can also be kept.


Installation of modern enviromentfriendly Crematorium/furnace can cost as low as $30, 000(₦11million)

Cremation of a body can also cost as low as $1500(₦500k)


In ondo, you can bury with less than 100k including coffin, land, and digging.





Cremation is cool if introduced in Nigeria with modern furnace.

But i don't believe is cheap and saying you can forget your dead easily like op stated.

Most people opt for cremation for their ash to be kept, depending on the last wish of the dead.

So it can be used to dispose of a president that isnt doing well? It has criminal tendencies and evidence erazing capabilities

If you want to burn your parents corpses, you can go ahead. I won't burn my parents. Just know that your children will do same for you so that you can enter hell from earth.

This is wrong perspection every dead bodies undergo burning process at the end of the day either buried or cremated.

Bury is a slow burning while cremation is a rapid burning.

Mind you I don't support cremation for the good reason of ARCHEOLOGICAL EVIDENCE-BASED which @OP failed to list as one of the disadvantages of cremation.

Cremation is a traditional process of converting the dead body into ashes across the globe. The modern process of cremation has been invented to execute the process into the more depending way. With the use of cremation machines, the dead body is placed into it using mechanical aligners or hydraulic lifters.

Once the door is closed, the flame has been introduced to burn the body. After a certain interval of time, the door is opened to recognize the burning operation so that ashes can be returned to the family members.

Ashes can be planted as trees also .

ADVANTAGES OF CREMATION OVER BEEN BURIED

1:its more cheaper than being buried
2:Due to the high population explosion we are experiencing there will come a time when there will be shortage of land to accommodate the growing population,so cremation helps conserve land that will be used in burying the dead .
3:it makes you forget about the dead eaisly .,

So what do you think nairalandlandes,should cremated be encourage in our dear country Nigeria.
After some people died by fire accident, you talk of cremation again.... make God no come accept that kind person for heaven, ahhhhhhh..... His spirit will not forgive those that cremated him o.

Na jonoku be that o

Saying someone is heartless isn't a complement. Also, it is an insult to say someone is talking like a fool or yarning gibberish. I find those words abusive and not just English. I need you to understand the uniqueness in the way we view situations and matters differ. As a result u need to respect other people's view. That been said, I think where I erred was the world Christians, I should have said some doctrine in Christianity does not support cremation. We are still good bro wink

The first writing is just an OPINION of a person. The second was an hadith. In that hadith, was it pointed out that it was wrong? Was it forbidden? He did that to escape Allah's punishment and Allah forgave him of his sins. It was not said in the hadith that what he did was wrong.

If a Muslim is to be cremated, he will still be washed and covered with clothe. Difference is instead of putting the body in the ground, the body is burnt. There is nothing humiliating in burning a body. There is also sea burial for people that died while traveling on the sea. In fact, Osama Bin Laden was given a sea burial by the US and I have not heard of any complaints about the sea burial.
Look, in some instances, it is NOT practical to bury a body in the ground. In some part of China (Tibet), the body is cut up and given to vulture to eat! There country is rocky and there is not enough trees to burn the body. In fact, they usually cook with animal excrement, not wood. If a Muslim die in that place, how would you suggest the body be buried?
In the Muslim world, burial in the ground is most common, that does not mean it is the only correct and acceptable way to dispose of a body. Remember that no matter the way a body is disposed, Allah will resurrect the body. You bury in ground, worms will eat. You bury in sea, fish will eat. You give to vulture, bird will eat. So what matter if you burn with fire?

In the North, burial is FREE. It is a duty of Muslim community to bury Muslims and Muslims in the North take that duty seriously. The community buy land and employs people to dig graves and manage the cemetery. When family come to bury, they give whatever they can afford AFTER the burial. No negotiation, nothing

What about Organ Donation? Why burn the body when you can donate it to someone in need of one body part?

http://www.mortalpoet.com/argument-for-organ-donation/

At the moment a body is to be buried, the organs can no longer be donated. Organs can be donated and the body cremated after. They are not mutually exclusive

The longer the organ is inside a dead body, the more useless it becomes. In fact, organs to be used are harvested while the body is still alive

Why wait for moment of burial for transplant if the organs and tissues are still intact at moment of death? Or you mean immediately we die our organs die as well? Please don't say yes.

Ustaz, please are you a scholar, or a student of a scholar?You never mention an hadith or quote a scholar explaining the topic of discussion. If you are not a scholar I will strongly suggest you avoid using your own intuition because you are not in that position. #justabrotherlyADVICE#. Now back to the topic, what is the sunnah of the Prophet regrading burial? . Please undestand that funeral in Islam is ibadah and it has to be done the way Islam prescribed it, anything otherwise is simply bidiah. Did the Prophet or the sahaabiyah burn their dead? Did any of the foremost Islamic scholars practice it. Please do it the way the Prophet ordered.

The fact that most communities bury does not mean other methods are not allowed. That is all am saying. Okay answer these questions.
1) If a Muslim died in a ship while on a sea journey, how will the body be buried?
2) If a Muslim died while in a place you can't dig. Tibet is such area in the world. They live on a mountain and it is mostly rock, how will the body be buried?
Know that the most important thing for Allah is our ease. Allah is not interested in putting on us a burden. So in Islam, anything that is not expressly FORBIDDEN is allowed. So if cremation is not expressly forbidden for us, know that it is acceptable.
