Burials Becoming Impractical

Red Cedar (RE: No room at the cemetery ): Perhaps, but it seems to be a difficult selling job on the part of the funereal industry to convince people they should “inurn” their loved one’s “cremains” in a paid spot somewhere, when it’s much cheaper, equally convenient, and sometimes more romantic to scatter their ashes in some beloved spot, or just keep grandpa in a jar on the mantle. I think the phasing out of burial is partly due to our generation’s general lack of a sense of place. People move around so much that they don’t feel any tie to any particular part of the country, and a “family plot” is completely impractical when the family is scattered to the four winds.

Question: Burial or cremation?
