    1. [KYLESLIE] Whole Body Burial or Cremation or Plastination & Genealogy DNA
    2. Whole Body Burial or Cremation or Plastination & our Genealogy DNA is a question many have determined and others have considered during research of loved ones, and their ancestry family trees. I myself prefer the full body burial and have planned a burial site near my Uncle, My Mother and My Grandmother all of Kentucky origin. My blood Grandfather had his burial decision by his daughter, (and my blood Aunt) in Colorado by cremation, as she did herself and her husband, yet they were origin of Missouri births. My younger blood brother decided before his departure in 2003 to be cremated regardless of his Catholic faith and it was not a decision based on reduced costs of burial, as he left a large estate to his children. All the above admissions prompted me to ask the list for their views on type of burial, and I suggest that each list member research the views of others at the following Internet locations, prior to making any remarks for or against. (see below) The recent Obituaries of our Nations Citizens continue to indicate many cremations followed by Christian Services in memory of the loved one. More and more World War II Veterans are being cremated rather than whole body burial. The DNA programs within genealogy continue to be primary based on persons claiming descent of a TWO hundred or THREE hundred years back individual who has no DNA being tested for the family trees. I am not against DNA testing as it is based on PROBABILITY statistics, and provides a direction of the footprints it uncovers. It is unheard of in a modern day Obituary claiming the individual had his or her DNA tested for genealogy. It's quite evident that may be impossible where cremation is the rule. Do we in Genealogy research expect future descent generations to believe our research in family trees without further proof being generated with such tests like DNA, or Cellular Micro Biology Cell research which is still in its infancy of science (such as Parkinson's disease, et al.) That modern day research has the potential to replace DNA tests as we know it in 2007, and a lock of hair, a tooth, a bone, something must remain on earth to be tested. Paper Trails in Genealogy are often used to trace persons names as a source, they existed, or they named their children and their wives. Yet, in modern day 2007 many women continue to drop their blood surnames after marriage and little traceable evidence of her parents and grandparents. Therefore, our genealogical community still works diligently looking for our past, and places among the human race. What will be the future in your household, Whole Body Burial or Cremation or Plastination ? > _http://www.us-funerals.com/burial-cremations.html_ (http://www.us-funerals.com/burial-cremations.html) In summation, cremation vs. burial is based upon culture as well as upon the attitudes of the individuals responsible for making the final decision for interring their loved one if no specific instructions were provided in a Will. 51 States are listed: Alabama AL | Alaska AK | Arizona AZ | Arkansas AR | California CA | Colorado CO | Connecticut CT | Delaware DE | Wash DC | Florida FL | Georgia GA | Hawaii HI | Idaho ID | Illinois IL | Indiana IN | Iowa IA | Kansas KS | Kentucky KY | Louisiana LA | Maine ME | Maryland MD | Massachusetts MA | Michigan MI | Minnesota MN | Mississippi MS | Missouri MO | Montana MT | Nebraska NE | Nevada NV | New Hampshire NH | New Jersey NJ | New Mexico NM | New York NY | North Carolina NC | North Dakota ND | Ohio OH | Oklahoma OK | Oregon OR | Pennsylvania PA | Rhode Island RI | South Carolina SC | South Dakota SD | Tennessee TN | Texas TX | Utah UT | Vermont VT | Virginia VA | Washington WA | West Virginia WV | Wisconsin WI | Wyoming WY > > > _http://www.epm.org/articles/cremation.html_ (http://www.epm.org/articles/cremation.html) by Randy Alcorn, Sandy, Oregon of _www.epm.org_ (http://www.epm.org) > > YOU MAY LOCATE THE NEARE State, V.

The plastic hardens, leaving tissues intact and allowing bodies to be displayed in their natural color and without formaldehyde.The process was made popular by Mr. Gunther von Hagens' "Body Worlds," a controversial anatomy exhibit that puts real human specimens on show. Most bodies are flayed and dissected, revealing their bodies organs. Other bodies are kept intact and displayed in dramatic action poses, such as a basketball player driving to the hoop or a runner in full stride. 7,652 people have agreed to donate their bodies and 461 have already died, in the North American body donation program for Gunther von Hagens' Institute for Plastination. It is estimated that Full-body specimens donated, is a process that takes up to a year to complete at a cost of between $40,000 and $60,000 in US Dollars. > > > What do you think is the best method for burial? > > > LISTDAD, JOHN in CA PLEASE remember to Support all our Paralyzed Military Veterans of America.
