On why burial is preferable to cremation

Martinus answers a reader's question

Question: When one has only the possibility of either ordinary burial or cremation, which of the the two forms of decomposition should one choose?

Answer: Of the two forms of decomposition mentioned, the ordinary burial would be the least evil, and is therefore to be prefered. See also "On burial and cremation as temporary measures".
