About This Quote
If asked to choose, I would choose cremation over death. Even if it is not the most popular option people would take, I think cremation is better than death. Cremation allows for the remembrance of life rather than death. It allows you to go into the future and still be present in your children's lives. If you die, you are gone forever.
