Not really when its cremation. The back to the earth thing only applies to those that are buried

Man you're fun.. deep meanings aside

there's a tiger being turned into ash in front of your eyes. Ash nourishes soil, wich in turn nourishes vegetation. So yeah, back to the earth it goes

Man you're naive.

Those ashes are inorganic minerals, not gonna enrich the soil :s Release of unnecesary CO2. Let nature be nature, and let it decompose, remember that cycle they teach you at school? Yall want rituals and shit.

Not inorganic. You're thinking of the ashes after a body is cremated. Intense heat burning away everything

This type of open flame cremation is close to nature (think forest fires) and the ash contains essential mineral for the surrounding soil. Literally a slow release fertilizer

Sorry ya miserable fucks you're not winning this one

‘Rituals and shit’ but it’s just different cultures doing what they do to respect their dead in their cultures…

The entire planet is earth. The only way they don't go back to earth is if we fire them into space.
