The way we bury the dead also show our relationship with death in general. We mourn the loss but we also find peace within knowing our relatives are among us in our memories. I think it would be a cool idea to see cemeteries revert back to large, colorful gardens where people's remains are used to help the soil grow trees and flowers. It could be good mentally as it would maybe help people see death not as a fearful or terrible end but rather just a part of the cycle of life as well as a way to also celebrate the lives that their passed love ones lived.

wait, heres the right thing, first is was in the days of adam and hawaa ( first people landed from heaven to earth) they got 2 sons named kabil and habil, kabil hated habil (for some obvious reasons ) so kabil killed habil, after kabil got mad for killing his brother and was going everywhere just holding his brother's dead body but then he saw 2 crows one of the crows is dead and the other is alive and saw that the living crow is burying the dead crow so kabil realized that he needs to do the same thing. and thats how it is.

I feel content with the idea of being buried in a plain (yet solidly built) coffin. The amount of money put into our modern-day, shiny, ornate caskets has got to be appalling. Plus the satin cushioning, the metal name/lifespan plate on the lid. all of it to be permanently interred, never to be seen by human eyes again. I'm sorry, but as someone who tends to think in practical, frugal terms, I can't get over it.

Muslim cemeteries (kabriztan) are full of trees. I feel so good to be there (alive; ) and in addition to that in Muslims the graves are just made of soil, no stones are used hence the graves are not permanent and one grave on another can be made.

To be honest, it would probably do a great deal for society if everyone donated their remains to medical science/became an organ donor; you may as well put your body to good use after you've died.

In my hometown the old cemeteries are recognized as nice parks where you can spend your time. It has rich flora and fauna, so it's a nice and calm place to spend your afternoon at.

For my mother, in Caracas in the early '50s, Sunday promenades were in the Cementery. Rich families monuments were the fanciest things they had the opportunity to see

In my native place, the dead are buried in their own fields (without a coffin, the idea being that we give back the body to the soil which made it.
