I haven't been to many funerals, just one actually and it was my grandmas funeral back in the beginning of tenth grade. I believe this is because i haven't been alive for a long enough time to experience more funerals. Just from my basic knowledge of how our society today treats the dead and the one funeral i've been to, i've noticed that we have very efficient ways of "getting rid of the dead"
What i mean by this is we either cremate the dead or put them in a casket underground, so why are these our only options? Depending on your religion the care for the dead might be different but generally Americans tend to choose one or the other. This lead to me to question why, why as Americans are we so disgusted by a body once it is no longer functional? Can't their be other options?
- How does religion play a role in care of the dead?
- How many options can one have in terms of caring for a deceased loved one?
- What is the most popular option in America in caring for the dead?
