Title: Cremation might change our belief in ghosts.

Do you agree? If we cremate, we might not start thinking of the dead rising up or ghosts
coming around to scare people off...?

I, too, want to be cremated when I pass. 

To answer the question, I don't believe it matters whether a person is buried or cremated.  It's the soul/spirit that comes back not the physical body.  So no matter what, Hmong people will still believe in ghosts.  :)

I don't care if I get cremated. I'm dead.  :-X
