Darkschunt 
Wednesday, April 28, 2004
Hello and welcome again. You're looking a bit sad today. Lost a friend...or a love? Would you like to seek another love? Perhaps try one of our love potions? No? Then what are you looking for? Oh, I see...you are seeking death...be careful...be sure of what you want...
So I have been researching death rituals...it's my latest hobby...
And so there are many ways of getting rid of the body when you're dead...I used to discuss ways to die and ways to be buried with my friends....oh, those were the days in high school...and which was the best way to go and which was the best way to be buried...buried in a coffin, cremated, your ashes in an urn, thrown into the ocean (for some reason, a lot of people like being thrown in the ocean, but to me it always seemed a bit cold), or being frozen, which was costly, or having bits of you blessed and placed in stupas or little buddhist statues like the Tibetans, or have your organs donated to hospitals, or your body frozen for cheap by having it thrown down some icy crevasse in the high mountains...
A lot of people I know don't go for the coffin burial. Some don't mind it if they are put in a tomb, like a Romeo and Juliet thing, but most people get creeped out about being buried six feet underground because you're just lying there and rotting away and your juices seep out and worms get into you....urrrhhh...and a lot of people I know want to be cremated. I wanted to be cremated too, but I wasn't sure what I wanted done with my ashes...and then I discovered the Zoroastrian ritual of putting the body in a huge pit and leaving it there for the vultures to eat and the soil to take back because if they buried it or cremated it or threw it in a river the body would contaminate the elements of the world - fire, water, earth, air - which they hold sacred or something, so instead they leave it in a pit and let the body return to the elements naturally...so that nothing would be wasted...I kind of like that idea of not contaminating any of the elements...but i don't know where you're going to get a pit...well, we'll see...
So have you decided on what you want to purchase yet? No? You'll come back another day? You have more thinking to do? Well, don't rush it... and Darkschunt will always be here...where what you want is what you get...well, have a nice day.
