Cremation better - huh ???


Just read Brian W. Fairbanks (here) in which he ends it with 'I'm gonna get cremated " to avoid the dreaded 'buried alive'. OK, this is all tongue and cheek stuff about an old goofy horror flick I know but I couldn't help think : "Why would cremation be better ?"
Maybe that it might be a minute or two quicker or what ? The whole idea is that you are NOT dead when they dispose of your body. I do n't see how being burnt to a crisp is better than a little slower suffocation under 5' of dirt right ? At least you pass out from lack of oxygen with the 'premature burial' ... LOL !!

With cremation you would die (or at least pass out first) so quickly you wouldn't even notice the horror of it all; being buried alive, however, would be one of the most torturous things going.

Exactly.
If you are cremated while you are into a cataleptic state, you never feel anything.
But if you are buried alive, once you wake up...
There are no words to describe that horror.
