creamate PAP !! Lakini it will be a setback to some communities which view funerals as some kind of feasting ceremony - a grand way to send the dead to the next world....some guys in shags who capitalise on funerals will suddenly lose clout..

I was listening to Njoya yesterday (on tv) and he made a lot of sense about why we should cremate in Kenya. His question was where are we going to bury 40m Kenyans if we don't cremate? This country will be full of graves and can you imagine the amount of good timber that will be wasted in coffins?

This coffin maneno doesn't make sense they should be reused since they are only for show and will only exist in photos and videos like wedding dresses.

BBI will solve it

I didnt even know this was on tv yesterday.... Just thought what a waste of such a prime piece when i passed the cemetery near the Bunyala road roundabout... and i wonder who came up with the idea - thought long time ago... By the way, who are they? is it a special cemetery or it was for everyone? seems pretty well tended though.

If the bible doesnt say that, then my priest and many others make it up when saying those funeral prayers.... They say it all the time.

@sheep.... there we have it! and with the mordern day cremation.... it is just the clean way to go... well, may be by the time we are gone this technology wont be here... but..... i think its the best send off.

By the way, did you know the skin takes over 10 years to decompose completely, bones take hundreds of years and the hair not at all? You dont want to scare children some 100 years from now when they accidentally pull up your skull from the farm.....



You need to know your God......through the bible more than what thr priest just says or tells you!!

Have a personal relationship with Him

The bible is your manual......read and understand.....God himself will help you do so.

We go to church because we are commanded.....in Hebrews not to forsake the gathering together of the saints.

I will not support cremation....coz death and the grave are referred to severally......

Probably where you are sitted now is a grave.....but ya zama za kale!!

I find more of a ritual ..... than a burial!!!

Hiyo harufu mtaifanyia????

God gave me the power to make wealth ... Blessed the work of my hands & enabled be A SELF MADE BILLIONAIRE ...... TO GOD THE FATHER OF MY LORD JESUS CHRIST; BE THE GLORY NOW & FOREVER MORE!

The Bible doesn't give instructions on how a body should be handled after death. In the cultures of Bible times, burial in a tomb, cave, or in the ground was the common way to dispose of a human body.
Today, obeying the laws of the land regarding corpses is always a significant consideration.Then there is the question of burial vs. cremation. Neither is commanded in the Bible, but neither is prohibited. In the end, it is best to leave that decision to the family of the deceased.

Whatever method is used to dispose of a body is not nearly as important as the truth that the body is no longer housing the person who has died. Paul describes our bodies as “tents” that are temporary abodes. “Now we know that if the earthly tent we live in is destroyed, we have a building from God, an eternal house in heaven, not built by human hands” (2 Corinthians 5:1). When Jesus returns, Christians will be raised to life and our bodies will be transformed to glorified, eternal bodies. “So will it be with the resurrection of the dead. The body that is sown is perishable, it is raised imperishable; it is sown in dishonor, it is raised in glory; it is sown in weakness, it is raised in power” (1 Corinthians 15:42-43).
For just as through the disobedience of the one man the many were made sinners, so also through the obedience of the one man the many will be made righteous. Romans 5:19

cremation all the way. the bible says we'll be judged for what we did while alive,and maybe we need to differentiate between the jewish culture and the gospel. the jews buried their dead on the same day(which i think is great) but we dont and we are christians. Thats the easy part,the hard part is convincing my kinsmen who have a certain attachment to the grave and tombstones.
Did anyone catch 'DEAD IN DISTRESS' on NTV.
if you aint livin on the edge,you are taking too much space....
