The two major and largest religions in the world today are Christianity and Islam. Both religions have been burying their dead for the past 2000 years. Except in times of war and widespread illness and disease. At such times, burning and cremation instead of burial was resorted to, to dispose off the hundreds and thousands of dead bodies. Christianity and the Catholic Church have reluctantly accepted cremation as a way of disposing off a body. Cremation as a means of disposing off a body of a loved one has is not yet accepted in Islam. Many other older religions in the world like Hinduism prefer cremation to burial. Except in cases of very young children. Hindus do not believe in preserving the ashes of their loved ones after cremation. Hindus prefer to submerge the ashes in the ocean, river, or a lake. Christians have the option to preserve the ashes and memories of their loved ones in Cremation Urns.
