I am also a Baha’i but I never really understood all the reasons why cremation is against Baha’i Law, other than that it would be interfere with the process of the soul leaving the body.
That is true of the bodies of man and the animals, but it is not true of the soul. Man has an advantage over animals because man has an eternal soul that continues to exist forever. Animals have an animal spirit and we do not know what happens to that after they die. Some Baha’is believe they are extinguished and others believe they continue on and exist in the spiritual world.
get cryogenically frozen. I'll do itMy husband and I do not want funerals, our bodies are to be taken straight to the crematorium when we are dead, after any useful bits have been removed. We are not in the least bit sentimental about dead bodies, which we regard as waste products, if they can be put to good use after death we are all for it. Our family will abide by our wishes. I would be happy if they wanted to have a party to celebrate my death.I have attended very few funerals in my 69 years, not even my mother's , and don't wish to attend anymore, as I don't see the point. I prefer to remember how a person was in life, not in death.
Some elderly relatives of mine died last year, even though they were religious I heard their bodies were taken straight to the crem.
What do other posters think about having a funeral?
I think letting a corpse rot in the ground is revolting, beside which burial space can be put to much better use, imo.
What is the point of that?get cryogenically frozen. I'll do it

It always reminds me of worms.
I'll take God's knowing over man's supposition. When God said all in the inspired work in Ecclesiastes who am I to say he didn't mean animals? All things are created of God.

What do you mean by that statement?
Religious reasons, obviously.
