short of space and way too expensive, so they are just about managing to breathe.

Hilarious Kamalji with a very apt title.
I think electric cremation is best as there is no spread of disease or the fear of waking up of the deceased.

There was a joke about a rich person. He is so fond of his money that he writes a will in which he mentions that his wife buries him with all his money or else he will dig and come back from the grave. After he died, as written in the will, the wife buries him along with a big box. Her friend asks why did she bury all the money. She said who says I buried the money. I transferred the money to my account and wrote him a check and buried that check. Her friend asks her what if he comes back. She says not possible, I buried him facing down.

Awesome jokes as always.

Anytime I prefer the undertakers to bid me a decent farewell, rather than wait for the kith and kin to perform the final rites. Atleast we are assured that we can look good, even after our death. Good one, Kamalji!

All cravings lead to grave, matter doesn't matter but the dead's matter(riches) does matter Kamalji.

Why don't we start bookings for graves in Mars?

Dear kamalji,
had a hearty laugh on going thro' your post, although a ' grave matter'! Yes, even bodies needing space will now come at a premium if alternate measures are not thought of, i presume.
And, its frightening to see what the innocent favourite things in the original poem could turn out to be. The poem is however beautifully written

Dear Joy,
Yes, i too laugh when people worry about things that are not in their control, and that too after one is dead.
My dad, we cremated my grandma's body, and put the bones in the sea, opposite our house in Worli,mumbai.He took all of us there, kids, women, men, put out a white sheet, put in it the bones, with a few flowers, and set it to sail in the sea. He said i want to see my mother, when i come for a walk on the seaface and will always feel she is close to me when i see the sea.
Next year he died, and he said do the same for me, so i am with my mother in the sea, and we did that.
and i have told my folks, me too in the sea, no haridwar no pandits for me. Me too in the sea. How does it matter after we are no more.

Regards
kamal

Went looking for Julie Andrews singing the parody. Did not find it, but did find this and it really gave me goose flesh to hear her esp. Edelweiss.

Kamalji, this problem with grave space is a worldwide phenomenon. In fact Paris has catacombs underground where old remains are stored. Catacombs of Paris - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Burial or burning, it always bothers me to think of misdiagnosed deaths. What if the person is really not yet dead? Frightening to even think of it.

Dear Satchi,
Well one in a million worng diagnosis may happen, so dont worry it is rare.

Dear Kamalji,

Interesting post. Here in UK I came to know about more interesting information when I went to my colleague's funeral.

It seems, if a spouse passes away, the other spouse can reserve the same grave for her/him for future. That means if a couple want both of them to bury in the same grave, they can inform in advance. When the other spouse dies in future, the same grave will be opened and his/her coffin will be placed in the same grave along with his/her spouse's coffin who died years ago.

Quite interesting.

Dear Pratyusha,
Wow both in the same place. that s so touching. Each country has their own ways. Here i hear the gujeratis dont pick up the bones fro the crematorium, they just leave it there.For them the person is gone, so what use the bones.

Regards

The dead grab prime real estate in burials and cremation costs wood or electricity. So don/t you think it would be a cheaper alternative if ISRO entered the business. It can launch a whole lot of dead into space at one go. The bodies will automatically be destroyed in the outerspace.

Dear Balaji,
They will launch u first in space, the Shiv Sena will lynch u first.HAHA
