JUST my oppinion but... Actually, I see both a little pointless. When I think of cremating all I can think of if my pet being burned up and having to be turned over to burn the rest of the way. don't ask. I'd like to think of my pets as living with me, as a part of me and in the memories of the lives they touched. It kind of seems pointless to keep the burned up bits of their body. I heard that in one religion (forgot which) they leave thier bodies out for sacred jackals. That sounds like the most honorable way to go for ME. That way all my pets and the legacy they left will be "layed to rest" in an honorable way.

I've actually seen that. I think they just speed up the process by thousands of years, and I think it involved compressing all of your molecules. I know that diamonds are exepionally hard.

jeez this is such a sad thread
