Sea Burial
There is a very interesting sea burial Singapore forum at the Singapore River Walk calledhell burials. It’s like a Victorian style graveyarded ground. At each end of the row of upright headstones are small vases of fresh earth from the sea that are placed upon the headstones. This is done for both religious and medicinal purposes, as well as to mark the spot where the deceased persons’ bodies lie.
As well as these vases of earth, coffins are sometimes laid on top of them to complete the memorial display. In some cases, the coffins have already been finished, while in other cases, they are still being worked on. Obviously it depends on the budget and the preferences of the construction contractor. However, the remains of the person in this instance may be interred within the mausoleum itself. The concept is not new; it dates back to the early part of the 1800s. These constructions are still a work in progress but they are gaining popularity today.
A Singapore Citizen visiting the Sea Burial Singapore forum may notice that the decomposed body of the person has already been riddled with several bullet holes. The wounds may be present on the skin or the soft tissue, depending on the condition of the person. The wounds were caused by gun powder residue, or other substances that have been fired at close range. In any case, it is important to note that these are not criminal matters, but simply accidents that took place within the course of one’s daily life. That is why all such victims are given a headstone or a marker to place at the grave site to ensure that their family members will visit at a later time.
What Is a Sea Burial?
People who find themselves victims of such shootings may opt for a sea burial. Under sea burial allows the remains to be recovered and eventually reburied at a later date. Of course, this can only be done if the body is not too badly decomposed. Once the decomposed body has been recovered and brought to the land of the living, reburial can take place as planned, with the body being buried next to the grave marker.
This option is ideal when one wants to be cremated instead of buried. It is cheaper and less stressful on the family as well. When the body is cremated, ashes are placed in a container and transferred to the family’s cemetery plot in Singapore. Burial rights can still be exercised if the body is not cremated. It is important to note that if multiple people opt to cremate the same body, the cost is reduced drastically.
There are a number of advantages to sea burial. For one, the body does not need to be shipped overseas where it is riskier because of the weather conditions. Also, the body is not exposed to soil, dust or chemicals, which could cause disease or even decay. Finally, it is a cheaper alternative than paying for an elaborate funeral or having a plot built. On the other hand, some mourners do choose this method because they believe that it is better to “touch” their loved ones more by simply hugging and carrying them around for a few days after death rather than have them buried.
