Does it matter whether a person dear to you be buried under religious ceremony that he does not believe in?? i.e body snatching in malaysia
personally - it does. but the real question is (to me): does it matter? and my answer is No. since, from my (Christian) perspective - whatever ceremony you do at my death, does not effect my spiritual being from being who I am. so, sure -- on a surface I would be annoyed. but, i would be annoy only b/c if that individual do not want that particular ceremony and it was still done. then on that bases, it is the matter of respect - and no respect for the dead is (to me) unreasonable and wrong.
It is true that burial is just another ceremony performed throughout our lives. I personally also do not mind. However, i dislike the use of court to determine how some1 must be buried. Frankly, to avoid such matters i will plan how i gonna be buried given the chance
Now that i think of it, why do people bury things that have died..... i wonder when the tradition was started and how did it stick, i guess people will always make up things and the world would just accept it... and now its like the coffin is hooked up so much it better then a small flat.... im obviously exaggerating...... but you get my point.... With that being said, if I follow the norm then it would be wrong to disrespect the deceased person that way by a religious burial he did not wish for and to avoid heavy criticism I would do it the way the person would have wanted... but technically it really doesn't matter... personally I would rather be cremated, I fit in a jar and take no space.... grave spots are getting limited and expensive..... i have friends who's mom have a grave space for them already and she bought them when they were like 12..... now that is just getting ridiculous
