Because burning a body is inherently disgusting. Try it with a small animal, see how it is. Commiting someone to the earth is far less awful, far more natural, and just generally better.
In concept, cremation is lovely. In practice, you need a bone grinder, a cremation chamber that requires you to break the femurs of the dearly departed to fit them inside, and massive filtration to prevent the entire area from smelling of burnt corpse. Burial requires a box.
- vel0city 2y agoAnd rotting in a box "leaking corpse juice" isn't disgusting. Try it with a small animal, see how it is. Honestly though, I can't really try it with a small animal as I don't have a cremation retort capable of reaching the ~1,500-2,000F that are common on actual cremation retorts. I don't know what kind of oven you rock in your kitchen but mine tops out ~500F.
