Almost all the funerals I've been to, the person is cremated. I had this strange experience when this past summer when my buddy died and his body was placed into a mausoleum. Later on when we were back in the area (LA), my other friend asked me if I wanted to go back to his mausoleum to see him. I never understood the desire to go back to those places, its almost if one is not wanting to let go of the death that took place.
