I know, but the majority of burials are just that - buried underground (complete with concrete box to enclose casket per law in many places).

I doubt what one does with the body has anything to do with future life as Jesus has promised us new bodies.

For me, a burial plot for family members is a place I go and “visit them”.

I know they are not there, but it makes me feel close to them. At least I have a gravestone to hug and cry over.

I completely agree. We've only had one family member cremated, my sister. We went upstate to my uncles “grave site”...where their entire family members are buried.

It's a lovely cemetery. We each took turns throwing my sisters ashes off a beautiful mountain top, while her song was playing. But now, I have no place to visit.
