RichardColeman Posted June 23, 2022 Share Posted June 23, 2022 I don't mind the occasional bit of smoke from the crematorium. I just wish their filter would filter out of the air the bits of ash landing a mile away ! God knows who's landing on me 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are you sure it all went into the cremation oven? As a point of interest, where did you get all the containers from? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grusa Posted June 24, 2022 Share Posted June 24, 2022 Last cremation I went to, the mourners were asked for 100 baht each for charcoal. Strange that, it was a gas-fired kiln. And by the way, the plural of "crematorium" is "crematoria". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Where I lived among the mountains of Lanna in North Thailand, the official crematorium site was outside the village where a brick structure containing logs was used. The coffin was placed on the logs. Wooden buildings at a distance housed the monks and mourners. (stock photo) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brianthainess Posted June 24, 2022 Share Posted June 24, 2022 The monks/abbots must be rubbing their hands at receiving more money/donations to update their ovens. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I paid Bt3oo for charcoal for a young man's cremation over twenty years ago at a Catholic run HIV centre. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

unblocktheplanet Posted June 24, 2022 Share Posted June 24, 2022 I want to be buried on my own land. My carbon debt ruined the future. Time to stop. Can't find any laws on private burials. After a properly issued death certificate, of course! Anybody research this already? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
