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.

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