The last place a spirit wants to be.

I visited a graveyard today. And thought about communing with the spirits. But then I thought better of it. Seemed to me that a graveyard would be the last place a spriit would want to hang out. With a bunch of buried discarded and rotting carcasses. No longer containing spirits. Any self-respecting spirit would want to get on with life. In a spiritual dimension. Happy for the release from the physical world. If a spirit was still around planet Earth, my guess he/she would be at the seashore or in a forest or on a mountain top. So much better than a graveyard. Especially the one I was in. A hodge-podge of graves. Crowded together. It'd be better to have a single grave on a lone prairie. All by itself. Maybe that's an argument in favor of cremation. With the ashes scattered on a blustery day. Subject to willy-nilly distribution by the wind. Doesn't matter. As long as one has become a full-fledged spirit. --Jim Broede
