I say cremation is the better option when you are faced with the task of putting to rest the remains of someone you love. It is quickly and professionally accomplished. It is less emotionally draining compared to watching the body in a casket being lowered into the depths of the earth. In a burial you will always have this unpleasant image on your mind. In cremation you get the feeling of the spirit being freed from the bondage of the human body.

Another advantage of cremation is that something of the dead remains with you. The ashes, secure in wooden cremation urns or other kinds of vessel can be kept in your home. It is as if the dearly departed is still a part of your life. You can pray to him or talk to him whenever you miss his company. You can also choose to leave the cremated remains in a crematorium which you can visit at any time.
