Is cremation an option for Muslims, would you consider it.

Frankly, cremation gives me the eebies jeebies.

Having my father’s ashes in an urn on the mantel with the other decoration pieces would creep me out.

I think there might be similar thoughts for burial by those who believe in cremation.

These borderlines should not be crossed as they are very much sensitive. Simply, apna aqeeda (deen /dharam) choRo nahin, aur kisi ka aqeeda cheRo nahin.

PS: We can discuss economic aspects or personal liking of anyone. Some of Muslims writers and famous personalities including Ismat Chughtai opt for cremation.
