Cremation is seen as a way to pay respect to the body and help the person’s loved ones begin letting go.
However, it is not uncommon for Buddhists to bury their dead in certain circumstances. For example, in some countries, cremation may not be possible due to cultural or legal restrictions, or it may not be the preferred method of disposing of the body. In these cases, Buddhists may choose to bury their dead instead.
Ultimately, the decision about how to dispose of the body after death is a personal one that should be made based on an individual’s circumstances, values, and goals. In the Buddhist tradition, the important thing is to show respect for the body and to care for the deceased’s loved ones during the grieving process.
