Cremation is a traditional process of converting the dead body into ashes across the globe. The modern process of cremation has been invented to execute the process into the more depending way. With the use of cremation machines, the dead body is placed into it using mechanical aligners or hydraulic lifters.

Once the door is closed, the flame has been introduced to burn the body. After a certain interval of time, the door is opened to recognize the burning operation so that ashes can be returned to the family members.

Ashes can be planted as trees also .

ADVANTAGES OF CREMATION OVER BEEN BURIED

1:its more cheaper than being buried
2:Due to the high population explosion we are experiencing there will come a time when there will be shortage of land to accommodate the growing population,so cremation helps conserve land that will be used in burying the dead .
3:it makes you forget about the dead eaisly .,

So what do you think nairalandlandes,should cremated be encourage in our dear country Nigeria.

I hope to be cremated and a part of my ashes spread on the sea.
I preach a lot about sustainable environments and ecopolis.

Do you know many houses/roads in Nigeria were once former grave yard sites. Your burial ground today may just become the new Shopping mall site tomorrow

Cremation, you can't forget about the dead easily because the ash can be used to make jewelries which one can hold on to for a lifetime.

The ash urn can also be kept.


Installation of modern enviromentfriendly Crematorium/furnace can cost as low as $30, 000(₦11million)

Cremation of a body can also cost as low as $1500(₦500k)


In ondo, you can bury with less than 100k including coffin, land, and digging.





Cremation is cool if introduced in Nigeria with modern furnace.

But i don't believe is cheap and saying you can forget your dead easily like op stated.

Most people opt for cremation for their ash to be kept, depending on the last wish of the dead.

We'd start with you.

Burial is a fusion of spiritual beliefs and cultural practices and those 2 things are very difficult to change.

In India for instance, they're largely Buddhists and cremation is widely practiced while In the Middle East and North Africa, Islam is predominant and cremation is haram in Islam.

Lagos State passed the Lagos State Cremation Law in 2013 authorising voluntary cremation of corpses and corpses unclaimed for 14 days. Since the law was passed, how many people have you heard that were cremated in Nigeria? Ironically, even that law states that after cremation, the ashes are to be BURIED.

Cremation is dead on arrival in Nigeria.

If we allow that in this part of the world,our youths will use it as a form of getting hi.

@Op imagine say after u r cremated some guys begin smoke u.

What we need is for some firm to start offering the service. Customer no go be problem for naija. I'm pretty sure some will embrace it.

The dead should be respected....

you'll become like them someday..

No such thing as forgetting about the dead easily. You don't just easily forget about a loved one because they were cremated.

It won't work in Nigeria.

Make people no go keep ashes wey go cause wahala for family.

Let's hear what NwaAmaikpe would say on this.

I concur
