Cremation or Burial?

Andy From Sligo

Cremation or Burial - what would you opt for?

I personally want to be cremated, I dont want to be worm fodder when I pop me clogs.

But the mrs tells me good luck with that, you can pay because its supposed to be expensive and i think only Dublin & Galway offer cremation

Just reading the other week that a Sligo cemetery is running out of space for plots or will be soon and will need expanding... taking up more land.

Land is valuable, shouldn't it be for building on rather than burying people in it?

Wasn't that Spike Milligan?

It was yeah but the church in the UK where he was buried wouldn't allow it initially, and some of his family also had issues with it I believe but in the end some agreement was reached that they would allow it if it was written As Gaeilge. I think at one stage his gravestone was removed and brought to another graveyard after some row. Families, eh.

Keith Richards snorted his father's ashes but sure he's snorted everything else and so why not I suppose.

Funny I've found most people want the opposite. They want to cause the least trouble and fuss.:(

Burial for me

So it looks like the majority polled here wish to be cremated. I'm not that surprised - cremation is becoming more and more popular. I'd say in 50 years time most people here will be cremated when they go. Cremation will become much more available due to the growing demand.

I wish ireland would hurry up building more crems then because cremation has been available extensively across UK for decades and what there is like 3 or 4 areas in Ireland that only offer it at the moment?
