It was a perfect white marble vase style urn, and exactly what this woman reflected to us. Many people touched the urn and had a special connection to her through it. She was a good woman, good friend, and a knowledgeable and active member of our mountain side community. I will miss our walks in the morning with my dogs. We were glad to memorialize our friend through the urn we choose. Cremation urns provide the special opportunity to give a loved one a special resting place just as unique as they were in life.India's hindus cremate as well, but scatter in the their loved ones cremains in their sacred rivers.For urns for your loved one, to go: <a href="http://www.inthelighturns.com" rel="nofollow">Cremation Urns</a> Recently a friend of mine passed away, and we offered her son a cremation urn.

Moslems don't condone cremation so the lack of it in Greece isn't an issue. A Moslem cemetery might be. Well don’t take everything Kathimerini writes as gospel.

Hindu's however do but I digress. I believe cremation to be a personal choice and it should be allowed if thats what the deceased family requires.

The Church has too much say and I say enough is enough. The Church and State should be separated and citizenry should be distinguished from religious belief. Everyone should have the right to cremation. Just because I was baptized as a Greek Ortthodox when I was 8 months old (!) doesn't mean I want to be buried as one. I didn't pop out of the ground, I came out screaming and kicking from my mama. I want to leave this world with more dignity. I don't think maggot food and taking up valuable earth space is very dignified of me (even as a corpse).

I've always maintained my body will go to medical research and then be cremated. Since they don't have a use for bodies for research here, cremation was still the way I wanted to go. The idea of being buried - and the way they do it here - is not to my liking. And it surprises me that they think cremation is more offensive to the church than an eventual mass buriel. Still, I am glad it is now legal, however, I still have the hurdle of getting my husband to approve it. He doesn't like the idea of me being cremated.
