Why do more people prefer earth burial to cremation in rural areas?

In the countryside, when someone dies, they will choose to be buried in the earth, in the ground, which is also considered a kind of respect for the dead. According to the old ancestor's saying, when a person passes away, the only way to get rest is to be buried in the earth, and if you can't be buried in the earth, your family won't feel at ease.

For the Chinese people, the idea of returning to the roots is y rooted, many overseas compatriots will also choose to let their children to send the ashes back to the motherland, the book of Zhou wrote: "All beings must die, death must return to the earth, indicating that burial may be the final place. Although the state now supports cremation, but there are still some areas to choose burial, so why would you choose burial rather than cremation?

One, earth burial is a return to nature

In the farmers' view, from ancient times to the present earth burial how many people ended up no, years later are turned into soil, still planting, did not take up any resources, did not destroy the green mountains and green water, the nature is still natural. Earth burial is very real, because the result of earth burial is still back to nature.

Two, the significance of cremation

Many people think that after cremation, it will be ashes, leaving so little ashes, a little thought is not left. And in the view of some old people, only do bad things can be cremated, is a denial of their own.

Three, cremation costs more than burial

The difference between cremation and burial? In essence, there is no difference, it is an additional process, first into the ashes, and then put into the coffin buried in a large mound, the land did not take up less, but more money spent. After the death of the old man need to hold a banquet, order a coffin, these are a considerable cost, for the farmers, cremation will make the cost increase.

Four, traditional concepts

Earth burial has been popular for many years, suddenly from the earth burial into cremation, many people are difficult to accept. However, with the passage of time, I believe that people will slowly accept cremation.

So, in the countryside, people are still more accepting of earth burial, cremation, depending on the person. But for me, as long as I can hide in my own country's land is fine.
