How important is burial?

If you own your own land, and you want to lay your dead there, I think it's fine. It ties you more closely to a place you can call your home. It gives you a sense of history, and imparts a certain significance to the land.

I don't think burial is as nearly important when it's in a community lot with a bunch of other people who have absolutely no relation to one another. People are right, after death, bodies are just bodies, and dumping bodies where all the other bodies are dumped seems kind of shallow.

If you can say, though, that your family members were born, grew up, and were laid to rest on this land, it gives you a stronger sense of where your home is.

On the other hand, a diadem composed of 7 generations of relatives would be pretty awesome too.

What I don't get are the people that say they want their bodies chopped up and fed to wildlife, because it's just a body when you're dead. By that same token, when you die, you won't care what happens to you, so why not do something with your body that actually helps the people who are still alive, ie. the ones that actually matter.
