Yes, perhaps slower. But the maggots will do their thing regardless of the casket. Actually, I believe in the south, like in New Orleans (where they have those above ground burials because of the water table), it's even faster. They place the body in there, it's so hot in those things that the body disintergrates very fast, and I believe if someone in the family dies a year or more after the burial, they just push the little that's left (dust mostly) to the back, and put the next deceased in the burial thing.

In many cemeteries, the graves don't have to be concrete lined. In Cypress Hills cor example the wooden casket is just buried into the ground. Some cemeteries requite the concrete lining (so in 5 to 10 years the the casket doesn't collapse causing that distinctive inward bulge in the grave). Jews in the Jewish sections of those cemeteries are allowed not to have a bottom though, so the body touches the ground).

umm i am not gonna go around wasting more resources like that.
paying all that money for a box to keep you in, whats the point? you're dead, you don't need to be comfortable. wasting valuable land so people can come worship your body.

i want to do as tibetan buddhists do, they leave their body on a cliff so animals can eat them and your body can actually help other lifeforms.

religious people sure seem to worship themselves an awful lot considering they care so much about their bodies when they die. if you really believe in souls and all that then you should realize your body means nothing when you are dead.

but thanks for knowing what i am gonna do when i die.

Writers of the Talmud

Baal Shem Tov

Division btw Orthodox/Reform/Conservative: Judaism fills more personalities, both liberal and conservative.

GROSS! And help other lifeforms??? I think they'll do fine without having your body to eat. Seriously!

religious people sure seem to worship themselves an awful lot considering they care so much about their bodies when they die.

Explain (in terms of Jewish religious people if possible).

if you really believe in souls and all that then you should realize your body means nothing when you are dead.

I'm well aware of that. I know that my body, while created in G-d's image, is only for use in this world. But while I am using it in this world, I must respect it.

but thanks for knowing what i am gonna do when i die.

I just took an educated guess based on what "most" non-Jewish people do. I'm sorry I was wrong. Of course you are free to do whatever you want.

Or so your parents and rabbi said. Not everyone who doesn't understand necessarily hates, and those who do understand often disagree with one another because that's what folks who understand something do. That, and the Torah is pretty much cobbled-together anyway, and it rambles, and it doesn't always correspond to archaelogical evidence (for example, try looking up evidence of the Exodus...)

There are a lot of people in Israel whom Brian would piss off.

The Zionists who founded the state, by the way, were Socialists and atheists. They didn't believe in God at all. But they believed in religious freedom, so today Jews, Christians, Muslims and other faiths can live in Israel - even the parasites in Mea Shearim who don't believe Israel has a right to exist at all (but are happy to collect welfare payments from the supposedly illegal State).

Okay, maybe G-d revealed the Torah to Moshe. Then perhaps G-d recited the Qu'ran through Gabriel to Muhammad and told Moroni to get Joeseph Smith to use seeing-stones build up what eventually became the Book of Mormon. And after communicating through Gabriel and Moroni, Oyasama received contact in Japan. Then there was Ras Tafari. And after Rastafari, there was David Koresh....

Or maybe all of them were nuts. Or maybe other nuts were involved in interpreting and transcribing the words of the first head cases.

If this is the case, that God and Judaism are more important than I am, then look at what these two sadistic institutions are doing to me and countless other individuals in tortiously interfering with our happiness.

Judaism is not sadistic, and G-d is not necessarily sadistic. Judaism is prescientific, and religions born after the advent of science are often nonscientific and based on prescientific religions. As for God (oh, come on! say it! Yahweh! Jehovah! Yahoo, maybe! The big guy in the sky! The big woman in the sky! More bad movie dialogue! Vhat, its blasphemous averah?
