Actually I had my husband cremated yrs ago. For the life of me I just couldn't think of him buried, alone, being mowed and stepped all over in some cemetery (and yes he felt the same way). We scattered his ashes in a waterfall near our favorite vacation place. So to me he will always be with Nature. ❤️☮️
My husband was cremated too. It was his choice. He used to say: I dont want stay under the ground, alone and cold, I want to go up in the sky quickly. 🎈🎈🎈 Next sunday it will be 2 years he passed. He was only 49. 💗💗💗 Hugs from Italy 🇮🇹
This a perfect video. My dad is battling cancer and now in hospice at end of life care. Haven't had any one cremated before so this gives me a great picture of the process that will take place when that time comes. This is his lost requested and only request he did everything for his self. I will miss him dearly.
Had my Mom cremated 4 years ago when she passed away... I hate knowing she had to go through this process... I get that she's gone.. but still. I dunno.. I suppose it's this or rotting away underground.. neither seems appealing.
I'm choosing cremation and my family knows that. The thought of having a burial after buying land (burial plot) to be buried in is just not appealing to me. Burial also has the potential of making the remaining members of the family feel guilty if they don't come 'visit me' from time to time. Both my parents are buried and I know I feel guilty if I visit the area they're buried in and don't go by and 'visit' them. Bottomline, I'm gone and it's time for remaining family member to finish their journey on this earth (without undue guilt ;).
To me it doesn't matter if the person's body is buried,because their soul has already left the body.The body is just the shell that the soul lived in.......
I get it. My best friend committed suicide January 21, 2023 at age 15, and it hurt so bad seeing him in his casket, 1: dead, and 2: about to be set ablaze.
I have directed my kids to have a brief memorial, cremate me, and pour my ashes in the section of the Tennessee River that flows through Huntsville, AL. (I've always liked to travel)
My father is going out this way and into a niche at Arlington National Cemetery when it's his time. Though not for a long time I hope. I'll never be ready for that day. He is 61, I'm 41, sister is 39.
Maybe if funeral homes didn't price gauge on mourning families who only want their loved ones buried with dignity, cremations wouldn't be so much more common nowadays
I want to be a doner, to possibly donate any part of my body so I can help a person to live on. When ypour body is a doner, you are put on life support, to enable your heart to function as well as any useful parts that will bennifit the receiptiant. Then, you are cremated, at no cost, placed in an urn. You must indicate you are a doner on your driver license. You can also request this in your will. Please concider this, rather than being buried. Help someone to see, that never did... A new heart, liver, kidney..so an individual has a new reason for living. Please donate!....
@@paulsigrist5065 you can become an organ donor but after everything is harvested the remains go to the family for them to make funeral arrangements. They are not cremated @ no cost to family. If you are a body donation for teaching purposes as in med schools then once they are done with the remains then they are cremated & returned to family with no charge.
Had my Mom cremated in December 2020 and Dad cremated in April 2021. Their deaths were unexpected but we had previously discussed this. COVID-19 complicated alot. This video was very helpful
@@Adrian-zd4cs I am taking care of my parents. Momma is 82…dying of Cancer , Daddy is 91 and in fairly good health but is not the father I grew up with. It is so hard physically (I am disabled ) but the mental part is the worst. You watch them go down day by day. I know your pain and it will stay with you until you are no-more.
Both my former wife and I have arranged to be flame cremated with our passing. We both have no second thoughts on the matter. For me, I have donated my whole body to a medical school to be ultimately cremated when they are done.
Thomas Coleman. My sister kept my Aunts ashes. Her house was robbed by high teenaged. The story is they thought the ashes was meth and snorted her. My aunt would have got a good laugh out of it other than being in someone’s nose!
So different from India where the Family is responsible for buying the wood to burn the bodies of their loved ones. The richer the family, the more wood they can buy. When I visited India, it was common to see partly burned corpses floating in the Ganges River. My in-laws bought cardboard coffins to be buried in, which was something that I never witnessed before because my family always go for those, I think ugly, caskets that look like SUVs! It’s like they believe that the human body won’t decompose like it’s supposed to!
We in the funeral section never use the word "cremains" .You won't find that word on any legal documents, at least here in the West. cremated remains ...always
If I get cremated, I want to be scattered on a windy day, and wind up in someone's eye. Then I want someone to be there to say; "Mark always was a smartash".
i did this with my dad 4 years ago. it was a in -the- moment- decision. i never really planned for his death, he was rather young. in the end, i perfered him "with me" where i could visit him in the next room, then travel to see his grave. he always mentioned cremation, so he wouldnt have been surprised
The casket or whatever your body is in when it’s stuck in the incinerator burns up as well and becomes part of the cremains, doesn’t it? I’m going to buy lumber and make my own casket. I can paint and decorate the outside as well as put padding and upholstery on the inside along with a nice pillow and mount some photos of family friends and pets on the inside of the lid. I can even purchase a really pretty, ankle length dress and split it up the back to I can be slipped on me and lightly tucked underneath. That will be a neat project. I can make a short display stand to set it on as use it as a display table until it’s needed
Wood is a carbon it will burn and return back to a gas from where it came from, however the other stuff on your list might not qualify to go into the crematorium since they might be synthetic based unless you used cotton.
I don't ever want to think about myself buried underground in a cold, lonely casket. Just something about the thought of being alone, even if I don't realize it, just puts me into an extremely depressed state and I can't stand the thought. So, I'll give my wishes to be cremated. However, a funeral pyre lit by an arrow while floating down the river is really my true wish.
Before my father was cremated in Australia, the funeral staff offered a lock of Dad's hair in a lockett for $35 as part of their service. But we refused the 'upsell'. Some days after, they placed the receipt and a lock of 'someones' hair in my mail box. I called and explained to Metropolitan Funerals that I was disappointed to have found someone else's lock of hair in our mailbox, as it was clearly a very different color to my fathers hair. The shocked customer service representative, better described as Sales Rep, apologised and was happy that we had located their missing body parts... UNBELIEVABLE. At my aunties funeral the service was stopped as they were lowering the coffin into the earth and the priest started kicking the side of the coffin as it was too big for the grave... After we left, thevgrave diggers enlarged the hole to finish the burial.. UNBELIEVABLE...
That truly is unbelievable but people have to remember this is still considered a business and it's very lucrative and profitable as horrible as it is it's a self sustaining system
I'd read funeral directors frown on using the word "cremations", preferring instead "cremated human remains" in first reference (to maintain human identity) and simply ashes on subsequent mentions.
Unfortunately I couldn’t afford a burial for my mom, and I also knew that she wouldn’t want to be buried in the state she was living in. So my kids and I decided to have her cremated, and I keep her ashes in my bedroom. I have already told my kids that I want to be cremated when my time comes. I’m just wondering if all the metal I have in my back will be incinerated by the heat. Well I guess I should have listened a little longer before wondering about the metal in my back.
Most likely, it will be mixed with the other non-organic bits of you when you come out. Then the crematorium staff will separate it from the ash and bone fragments, and likely have it recycled.
I suppose its good you explained the cremation process... But its also sad too. Ive been present for a few cremations and its horrible for the family to stand by and know the one they loved turns to ashes in that heat. Thats how I felt when I was present in an electric crematorium for my late father. But it made me realize we are just guests on this earth and take nothing with us finally... You start life from being a speck and end the same way...
I’ve been struggling with this since I was age 10. I must have a mental issue because I break down it’s bad. I’ve seen death all my life in my family early on both parents are gone but for whatever reason knowing we all die I still freak out every day. I just think something is wrong with me. You did a great job on video so I gave 👍. But I really get sick totally sick.
@@christinewiery1330 I’m 54. And this is getting worse by the day. Why? Is everyone this worried and scared? I’m doing things that should help me and they aren’t 😢😣
@@pippadot679 I'm sorry to hear that. You probably should see someone that can help you deal. Have you tried therapy? It is a freaky thought, death. And after life. What are your thoughts?
@@pippadot679 Same here. The depression is getting deeper and deeper. The immaginations of laying in the caskin take my breath away every single day . If we were sure there is afterlife at least, would give me a little peace...Sorry my english
I moved to my area back in 2011 and became friends with my dear next door neighbor who at the time was 66 years old , I’m from Guatemala and she was born in Thailand we became quickly friends as I also had no family and had been without them since I was young and after her late husband passed away in 2013 and as she was getting older I begun to help her with little things because unfortunately she would go around the neighborhood and people rarely wanted to help her so I took it to help her and since then I was always around helping her with everything I could out of the kindness of my heart ; She eventually started calling me her daughter and would cry because she said she didn’t have anyone and that I was the only one . She made me promise her I would never ever leave her and that I would aways be here to help her and back in late August I found her not so well and I had to call the paramedics and they took her ; she was in the hospital for a month and out of that 2 weeks on life support ; I went everyday to see her until her last breath , she has no fam , no kids , no friends just me ) and no one has claimed her body and by law I have to wait to be able to claim her ; as she would want to be with me idk what to do ; she was Buddhist and I wanted to know if they believe in cremation, we never talked about that but she always said she wanted to be home with me
My brother wants to be cremated, dump the ashes in a hole, plant a tree in the hole-so he can go on to feed the animals, shelter birds & shade a picnic blanket!!!
My best friends family did that when their very well loved grandmother passed. I love the idea as grandkids and everyone else will still be able to visit and hug the tree❤️ I want to do that too
In New Zealand my late father was cremated by his wishes 5 years ago he wanted a simple small funeral simple wooden box as he was a simple man we didn't get him embalmed because we didn't have to delay the funeral ,being embalmed is costly so he passed over and 2 days later had his funeral we couldn't leave it any longer as the body would eventually decay . All up 2,000 now that's a cheap death 😊
There are many ways to make clays. Put the ashes is a soda can, make your clay 'jar', or maybe an object like an animal, a lighthouse, ect, then coat it with the ceapest hairspray, cause that has the most lacquer in it, put light coats on it and let it dry inbetween coats.
i am sure the coffins are not burned but picked up after the funeral then returned to the funeral home for resale ,also that people can get anybody's "ashes"
Can not resell a casket. You can use a rental casket if you want a complete service then cremated. The lining slides out & is replaced with a new one each time. Many people do direct cremation with no container.
The process of an open burial has always fascinated me. Cleaned, all metal/surgical implants removed, wrapped in linen and placed in an area where nature is left to dispose of the remains. Truly going back to nature. My only problem with any type of treatment of my remains after death is that I want my tattoos removed and tanned/preserved before anything is done with the rest of my remains.
The Parsee community ( the descendants of Persians from centuries ago )/neither bury nor use fire which is sacred to them for disposal of their people. They have a procedure, cleansing of a body , prayers etc and left in the Tower of Silence for vultures and scavengers to eat their remains. Nowadays some modern Parsees are using the crematorium. I'd personally prefer that. Not burial nor cremation.
My father was cremated. We had no expensive casket, not even close. He was in cardboard box that looked like wardrobe box with a pillow you used to get on airplanes. Undignified? IDK. But spending $1000s on a casket to just burn seemed unnecessary to us.
Thank you! My grandmother has just passed away and she chose to be cremated and scattered inbetween Estonia and Finland. I (14yr old) have never experienced anyone passing so this video was great and helped me understand what would happen to her, though it's extremely sad to know that she will be burned 😥
Not going to happen. You won’t be declared dead, unless there’s evidence that you cannot ever be revived. This may have been possible in ages past, but not today. If you’re still concerned, ask your physician to explain why.
what happen to the handles, bolts and nameplates from the coffin? Are they removed before the cremate or is the body removed from the coffin before been cremated?
My Cat was cremated by Aquamation. The place I took her to held a visitation and viewing time for us with her..Then she was lovingly taken and we had her back in a couple days. They were wonderful. I was a blubbering mess. Is this something we could see being used for humans? They also explained the whole process before.
For my mom, we had a 3 hrs with her body before she was cremated, when we saw her, she was wearing her favorite dress and it had 2 blood stain in the front of her dress, we were very shock and upset of seeing this and we had put a complaint. We felt that my mom did not receive the respect she deserved 😪
I don't do confined spaces, so I wouldn't be able to rest easy in a coffin covered in a couple tons of dirt. After creamation, there will be the question of what do you do with the cremains? I have 6 children. Who gets me? Too many questions. Having been a teacher of EMT's, firefighters, and law enforcement, I will be delivered to a "body farm." In this way my body will be teaching forensic students, and police investigators about the processes of decomposition relating to criminal investigations and death investigations.
They are obviously mixed together,although a cardboard literally buns down to nothing. so you are getting your loved one AND the container they were cremated in
I'd like my cremains put in an artillery shell and shot out over Lake Michigan, which I live about 4 blocks away from. I guess I'll have to settle for being scattered the regular way though... sigh. I'm ex-navy.
When you say that is ilegal to scatter ashes on some places. In europe is mostly ilegal to have urn with ash at home for example you can scatter ash at home garden but not to have phisicaly urn at home on the bookshelf.
@@Good-DaySunshine From piety reasons. The thing is that when somone die, family or others who know thy/her/him have respectfull relationship to remains, but evry next generation have less of this and because that this urns will be not layed everywhere we have a law that only place for death are at the cemetery. In my country (Some of central Europe country) we also have very high precentage of death which are cremated almost 75% to 90% and that will be meaned that some familis will be have as posible more than 4 urns at home and that will be a little creeapy... I think that every human need to have respactfull place after death and that is only at the cemetaries or if you scatter ash to place which has been loved by this one who has died.
Wouldn’t stop me from living ( going where and when I would like to go) Most cribs and businesses in the hood are built on top of old grave yards 🤷🏽♀️
I remember when my mom passed away from cancer about 10 years ago the guy talking cremation he was such a weirdo and he said if you want to go cheaper we can put her in a 55 gallon drum of acid and within like 2 days she would just melt away to basically nothing, I felt like running out side and puking all over the parking lot.. cremation was bad enough but when he talked about dissolving my mother into nothing I thought to myself what's wrong with this guy..I know that's part of this job but how do you talk a family into that for a cheaper price.. I can just throw your mom in a 55 gallon drum of acid till she melts away..WTF..🤮
My mother did that... and it sucked to have to make that decision. Not right to leave your loved ones with more problems as they will have enough already.
Would you rather be buried or cremated after you pass away?
Cremated. ✔️
Both
I'd rather I not been born therefore I wouldn't have to decide like wtf kinda shit is planning for your own death

He must be a very thoughtful caring person if that's his wish...
What a lovely thing to do
Yes!! My husband and I are doing this. It’s called a living urn.
My best friends family did that when their very well loved grandmother passed. I love the idea as grandkids and everyone else will still be able to visit and hug the tree❤️ I want to do that too
Sick society
I said to my mother... ya mom, they have to send your bones through the bone grinder.
Mom: They do not !
Think about it - Isn’t your body just the place your memories call home?
Your gone ! Its the living with .memories , period !
Well done video!!
How much is the creamation process
I had my husband cremated last year paid 4200 to the funeral home.
In New Zealand my late father was cremated by his wishes 5 years ago he wanted a simple small funeral simple wooden box as he was a simple man we didn't get him embalmed because we didn't have to delay the funeral ,being embalmed is costly so he passed over and 2 days later had his funeral we couldn't leave it any longer as the body would eventually decay . All up 2,000 now that's a cheap death 😊
😵💫Great info.The more ya know.
Whats your most modestly priced urn
There are many ways to make clays. Put the ashes is a soda can, make your clay 'jar', or maybe an object like an animal, a lighthouse, ect, then coat it with the ceapest hairspray, cause that has the most lacquer in it, put light coats on it and let it dry inbetween coats.
Funeral home: Surprisingly Expensive.
They let me take mom home in a temporary urn. It's a small black plastic box... no charge.
What do you do if you're still alive when they start the cremation?I want a squirt gun in my casket.....make it two.
@@joebittman5039 Tell them to turn you so you cook evenly. 😆 🤣 😂
I want to be cremated. Funerals are so expensive and I don't want to be under the ground. My friend wants to be buried.
Same here….it’s to much money I don’t need my kids to stress out
@@adrianarogeligo Amen 🙏
Thanks for sharing about Cremation
i am sure the coffins are not burned but picked up after the funeral then returned to the funeral home for resale ,also that people can get anybody's "ashes"
Can not resell a casket. You can use a rental casket if you want a complete service then cremated. The lining slides out & is replaced with a new one each time. Many people do direct cremation with no container.
When you're cremated your ashes are all mixed up with the coffin wood you could end up with more wood than ashes
Very interesting this is
Years ago in my city, families were not told the day or time of the cremation. I understand the emotional and mental part of this.
Thanks for this information...
Awesome process!😉
The process of an open burial has always fascinated me. Cleaned, all metal/surgical implants removed, wrapped in linen and placed in an area where nature is left to dispose of the remains. Truly going back to nature.
My only problem with any type of treatment of my remains after death is that I want my tattoos removed and tanned/preserved before anything is done with the rest of my remains.
The Parsee community ( the descendants of Persians from centuries ago )/neither bury nor use fire which is sacred to them for disposal of their people.
They have a procedure, cleansing of a body , prayers etc and left in the Tower of Silence for vultures and scavengers to eat their remains.
Nowadays some modern Parsees are using the crematorium.
I'd personally prefer that.
Not burial nor cremation.
That Howdy Doody doll on the shelf in the background of the narrator's scene..lol..😅😂❤🎉
My father was cremated. We had no expensive casket, not even close. He was in cardboard box that looked like wardrobe box with a pillow you used to get on airplanes. Undignified? IDK. But spending $1000s on a casket to just burn seemed unnecessary to us.
The body May disintegrate but the soul is still around!👍🏻
Hope so.
I hate the idea of bieng buried or cremations… it makes my heart feel really heavy-
I plan to be cremated and buried. Already have things taken care of.
Both? Lol
@@heathermcfarland9366 I plan to be crenated and have my ashes buried in a cemetery plot. There are plenty of ‘cremains’ put in urns and then buried.
Thank you! My grandmother has just passed away and she chose to be cremated and scattered inbetween Estonia and Finland. I (14yr old) have never experienced anyone passing so this video was great and helped me understand what would happen to her, though it's extremely sad to know that she will be burned 😥
Voices = prayers and manifested from the sky, face-to-face and voices
Probably better than a burial at sea. You'll need a licensed Captain for that😉
Burning alive or buried alive? The thought of either makes me worry!
Not going to happen. You won’t be declared dead, unless there’s evidence that you cannot ever be revived. This may have been possible in ages past, but not today. If you’re still concerned, ask your physician to explain why.
Don't worry in either case you won't be alive long. No oxygen in a casket and fire is well....fire.
When my boyfriend owen passed away on october 12th of 2020 his sisters cremated him
Put me in a cardboard box and drop me in the hole.
nice econo way to go...
What a beautiful way to think
I subbed cause I finally got to c the face behind the voice, the voice is addictive!!!
what happen to the handles, bolts and nameplates from the coffin? Are they removed before the cremate or is the body removed from the coffin before been cremated?
Very interesting. Thank you.
From dust to dust (ash), what’s the difference?
The difference is man is dirt. So if it's dust to dust that means at death you go into dirt.
I’ve heard that the industry tends to avoid using the term “cremains”. It’s more commonly used in the pet cremation industry.
My Cat was cremated by Aquamation. The place I took her to held a visitation and viewing time for us with her..Then she was lovingly taken and we had her back in a couple days. They were wonderful. I was a blubbering mess. Is this something we could see being used for humans? They also explained the whole process before.
I want to be scattered at Disneyland, but I don't want to be cremated..
For my mom, we had a 3 hrs with her body before she was cremated, when we saw her, she was wearing her favorite dress and it had 2 blood stain in the front of her dress, we were very shock and upset of seeing this and we had put a complaint. We felt that my mom did not receive the respect she deserved 😪
I just wanted to know about it ,
“Artificial Pacemaker “… is that a fake pacemaker as opposed to a real pacemaker?…
A Mortician removes pacemakers etc before the deceased goes anywhere near a crem
I don't do confined spaces, so I wouldn't be able to rest easy in a coffin covered in a couple tons of dirt. After creamation, there will be the question of what do you do with the cremains? I have 6 children. Who gets me? Too many questions. Having been a teacher of EMT's, firefighters, and law enforcement, I will be delivered to a "body farm." In this way my body will be teaching forensic students, and police investigators about the processes of decomposition relating to criminal investigations and death investigations.
How do you separate the body from the coffin or is the ashes of the body and coffin mixed together
They are obviously mixed together,although a cardboard literally buns down to nothing. so you are getting your loved one AND the container they were cremated in
I think I'd rather be buried
I told my wife I want to be cremated. Next thing I know, she made an appointment for next week!!😮
Wow nice video
That person washing the body at the beginning looks just like DEXTER!
You dip.
My husband will be cremated and scattered in the ocean.
Before or after he dies?
@@TXMEDRGR for my ex preferably before.!!! He is the devil 🤘 😈.
Many Navy men request this !
I'd like my cremains put in an artillery shell and shot out over Lake Michigan, which I live about 4 blocks away from. I guess I'll have to settle for being scattered the regular way though... sigh. I'm ex-navy.
When you say that is ilegal to scatter ashes on some places. In europe is mostly ilegal to have urn with ash at home for example you can scatter ash at home garden but not to have phisicaly urn at home on the bookshelf.
Why?
@@Good-DaySunshine From piety reasons. The thing is that when somone die, family or others who know thy/her/him have respectfull relationship to remains, but evry next generation have less of this and because that this urns will be not layed everywhere we have a law that only place for death are at the cemetery. In my country (Some of central Europe country) we also have very high precentage of death which are cremated almost 75% to 90% and that will be meaned that some familis will be have as posible more than 4 urns at home and that will be a little creeapy... I think that every human need to have respactfull place after death and that is only at the cemetaries or if you scatter ash to place which has been loved by this one who has died.
My Mother's cremains are in the Airing cupboard.....she always hated to be cold! ❤
Money comes and goes as long as I'm awake. People deserve it along with human race
U can buy coffins off ebay, its a very good deal.
My mother in-laws passed away last Sunday and we are doing the Auquamation instead of the regular cremation. It legal here in Maine
I am sorry for your loss John..
But may I ask.. what is an Auquamation? 😳
Aqua cremation they use hot water and alcholines to break the body down
@@Dulles-jt6sr It is to disolve the body in hot water mixed with caustic soda, then the soup is dispose in the drain system. was mentioned in the vid.
"Are you are, I once was. What I am, you will be"...
Do the body needs to go funeral or clean the inside first?
(2:24) Gene Tierney in "Leave Her to Heaven".❤
Like the way you tell us very good
Why are you telling the story for, duh when the real person actually cremates the body for a job.
What do you say to the dead
, is there a place where it's burning? It says in a book I once read, yes there's a chance of returning...
Holy shit, there's actually a cremation association
(1) Throw me to a shiver of hungry sharks, or (2) compost my body, and feed some roses, or tomato plants with it - why waste it?
So Disney Is Freaking Haunted 😳 Thanks For That Info, You've completely Changed My View towards it Now
Also many children are abducted there 🤬🚨
Extremely. Loads of peoples ashes have been spread at Disney land/world
Wouldn’t stop me from living ( going where and when I would like to go) Most cribs and businesses in the hood are built on top of old grave yards 🤷🏽♀️
Comment 545 said just make sure I'm dead. Hahaha I don't wanna wake up in flames either...but it has been a rough life.
I remember when my mom passed away from cancer about 10 years ago the guy talking cremation he was such a weirdo and he said if you want to go cheaper we can put her in a 55 gallon drum of acid and within like 2 days she would just melt away to basically nothing, I felt like running out side and puking all over the parking lot.. cremation was bad enough but when he talked about dissolving my mother into nothing I thought to myself what's wrong with this guy..I know that's part of this job but how do you talk a family into that for a cheaper price.. I can just throw your mom in a 55 gallon drum of acid till she melts away..WTF..🤮
Wow
I used my son's ashes mixed in with tattoo ink
I don't like this process. Rather be buried underground. Cremation sounds like too much for a body even if its dead.
I'm in school to do this.
I am going to tell my family to surprise me when the time comes.
amen lol
My mother did that... and it sucked to have to make that decision. Not right to leave your loved ones with more problems as they will have enough already.
