Why do we cremate? A Christian girl asked me that and i didn't know the answer! in Christianity fire represents Hell.
I said we cremate so we become dust and part of earth mitti ਮਿੱਟੀ ? thats what we are made of after all? and she said Ok that makes sense
I once read that Hindus cremate because that releases the soul, that dont make sense to me some even smash the skull with the club!
