Burn, baby, burn.
by BollaPinsvin June 18th, 2009Today, i saw a dead person burning. It had been burning for about half an hour. Did you know they cremate them with their coffins? People buy expesive coffins for their dead ones, and then they burn them! I thought they just threw them in the way they were.. I saw the remains too. Some of the bones had not burned up all the way, so they crush those afterwards. The person i saw have had a metal plate in his or her hip. It was lying among the ashes.
I spent the morning drilling holes for urnes. Put one down too, one who didn’t have any family to be there when we did. So we just threw it in, covered it and left. Good morning.It was raining today! From the moment we started to the moment we finnished. no more either, ironically. So my boss had set two of the girls making waffles to make up for the bad weather. I like my boss. he’s the most pleasant man you’ll ever meet. Chubby, with worn out jeans, always smiling, always a pleasant comment or joke. :)
Now i’m going to black out until next workday. feel free to visit. I am capabul of holding a conversation, but to exhausted to leave the couch. Tradittion of what to do with dead people indeed is strange.

How is burning these expensive coffins any different from putting them in a hole and cover it with dirt? :p

Difference is if they burn the coffin they cant use it again. You cant use the burried ones again either, but there you never have the opportunity. The anoing thing is that they have the opportunity, and dont take it. All in all i think cremation is better, because it takes less space in the end
