Which is crueler, ice burial or cremation

Cremation.

Ice burial first originated in Northern Europe and it is an Eskimo funeral tradition. Cremation is also more polluting to the environment and uses a lot of energy, so ice burials have become popular again.

Ice burial is mainly people die after the body will be hidden in the ice grid, and then immersed in liquid nitrogen, and nitrogen into the liquid, need to be minus 196 degrees Celsius cold state, so that the organic tissues will be rapidly dehydrated, the remains become dry and brittle.

Then use ultrasonic technology, after the remains are crushed, the crushed particles are sent into a special vacuum box to remove impurities, and finally some of the ashes without impurities are given to the relatives of the deceased.

How to balance the relationship between funeral culture and practical value:

In the modern society where human and land resources are becoming increasingly tense, traditional earth burials are gradually being replaced by cremation. However, there are still many people who feel that cremation cannot express the living's respect for the dead, and therefore pit modern burial methods against traditional culture, which is actually unnecessary. So, as modern people, how do we achieve the unity of traditional funeral culture and practical value?

In fact, funeral culture boils down to the word "ritual". In the beginning, humans were like animals, abandoning the bodies of their loved ones wherever they went without feeling guilty.

Until ancient times, there was a man who did not bury his relatives, and when his relatives died, he carried the body up and threw it into a ravine. Later, when he passed by there, he saw foxes biting and eating the corpse, and flies and mosquitoes coming to bite.
