Re: Is cremation an option for Muslims, would you consider it.
In US, funerals and burials are supposed to be big business like everything else.
Everything costs an arm and a leg there.
It is too expensive even to die there. 
What does everybody think of the Paarsee practice ? Would you opt for it ?

Mumbai has āTower of Silenceā for Parsis. Parsis have said that there are few vultures now because of pollution in Mumbai.
Re: Is cremation an option for Muslims, would you consider it.
Interesting.
No offense intended, but I donāt know who to feel sorry for - the vultures or the dead and their next of kin. 
Aside from being a disturbing way of disposing the dead (at least to me), this must be one of the least expensive. No ?
Re: Is cremation an option for Muslims, would you consider it.
Why is it disturbing ? Burning the body of your loved ones isnāt disturbing ? Burying the body of your loved ones beneath dirt isnāt disturbing ?
Death itself isnāt disturbing ?
It all depends on your belief , and what you believe in automatically becomes acceptable no matter how disturbing it looks to the ones who donāt believe in it.

I prefer myself to be buried. Hell no to cremation.
