Brother, I saw that program too. Like many good programs shown on PBS it was made as a joint venture with the BBC, so the BBC archives might have it still.
It was an expose on shady practice by crematoriums. One common way they save money is to run the furnace at too low a temperature leaving the bones more or less intact. At recommended tempteratures, some larger bones may appear intact, but they crumble to dust at a touch.
I have never really seen the problem with cremation. It is just the speeding up of the natural process that occurs to all dead meat, and what happens to my body when I am no longer using it is fairly irrelevent to me. Once the soul is gone, my body is just a chunk of rotting meat.
Treat it with respect for my family’s sake, sure, but not for my sake. I have been promised a replacement body at the resurrection. We all have.
"Once the soul is gone, my body is just a chunk of rotting meat"
You know not what you say. Just look at how I think it was Jacobs body was taken to the promised land and levitical law respects the body.
Also how Christ too was carefully attended. It's in the bible also in Christian tradition as we know where some of the apostles and believers burial places are know. Also look at the respect we have with our bodies at the cemeteries are loved ones through out the generations are buried. In my humble opinion.
