The stunning rise of cremation reveals America’s changing idea of death

Cremation is now more popular in the United States than a traditional casket burial, and twice as common as it was two decades ago. What does that say about us?

Dude, some of the people quoted in this article are being real dicks about this!

“‘Some people want it over and done with. You wonder if they’ll come to regret that later,’ Moylan says of cremation. ‘With cremation families, a lot of them don’t want to know what we do or how we do it or don’t care to know what you can do with a cremated body. This generation just doesn’t want to do the three-day-long funeral home thing.’”

“‘People want the body disappeared, pretty much. I think it reminds us of what we lost.’ In the United States, Lynch notes, ‘this is the first generation of our species that tries to deal with death without dealing with the dead.’”

I agree with Caitlin Doughty:

“Caitlin Doughty, a mortician, advocate and author, says funeral directors haven’t done enough to address contemporary Americans’ wishes.

“‘The cremation rates are telling us something. They’re screaming at us that people are not happy with what is available,’ she says. ‘Cremation is more a rejection of the traditional funeral industry than an acceptance of cremation.’ She craves innovation and meaning: ‘We need safe, beautiful ways to engage with death.’”

Embalming and fancy coffins and overpriced services are what I hear people mentioning when they talk about not wanting to be buried. I personally don’t want to pay a bunch of money to have my body preserved beyond death and I don’t think that doing so honors death. I think it denies that death has happened. 

This ridiculous and somewhat insulting article is a gift link. Everyone can access and read in full.

Probably won’t get as many notes on this one, but I still like to share!

Chronicles of Narnia:

You can worship a deity without being devoted to that deity. You can make offerings without making oaths. It is okay. Please do not stress yourselves out because you want to make a thank-you offering but don’t want to make a lifelong commitment. Why would you need to swear oaths to say thank you? It is totally okay to just make conversation without involving vows and stuff.
