What do people do with their Dead Bodies?

Religions

There are about 4,300 Religions in the world. Every religion has its teachings and the people of which spend their lives according to the religious instructions, some have many Gods, some even do not agree with any God, and they claim of having independent lives, some claim vegetables and some animals to be their God and some belief in only one God.

Having faith in one or many Gods, people live or spend their lives and worship their Gods. As the fact that every soul will have to taste death, everyone believes in the end. Still, as per the teachings of their respective religions, the death procedure differs in the different religions.

Here in this article, we will discuss the death procedures of different people.

 Muslims

Muslims believe in life after death, and they believe in the day of judgment, and as per their religious teachings, they spend lives, obeying Allah (God). Whenever anyone of Muslims dies, they deal with the dead bodies by burying them.

Muslims believe in life after death and in the day of judgment that everyone again will be alive and will be called upon, so they have maintained graveyards for the dead. When someone dies, they held a funeral for the deceased, and after attending the funeral, they pray for them and, at last, go to the graveyard and bury their dead there.

The same part of the land after 2-3 years can be reused as the bones of the dead dissolve in the soil because the human nutrients and the soil nutrients are the same, so they dissolve in each other.

Christians

Christians also believe in only one God they call Father as the teachings of Jesus Christ.

They recognize Jesus as the son of God and believe that God functions as a Trinity.

When it comes to a Christian's death, it is seen that a funeral is held for the friends and the family to grieve for the person who has died and given thanks to their life.

One thing common in Islam and Christianity is that the people of both religions believe in life after death and the day of judgment, so they arrange funerals and bury their dead bodies because, just like Muslims, they also think that they are made up of soil. They will have to go the ground, so they bury their bodies and return them to the earth, which was their origin.

Hindus

Hindus do not believe in life after death, and they worship the different Gods, including Brahma, Sarasvati, Lakshmi, Vishnu, and many others.Hinduism is not an organized religion and has no single, systematic approach for teaching its value system, nor does it have a single set of rules to follow.

But when a Hindu dies, it is not a specific task to deal with the dead body because they deal differently to the different aged persons as they bury the children like Muslims bury when they get quiet.

But when an adult in Hinduism dies, they burn them in the woods because they believe that they won't be retaken into account on the day of judgment, and if they get burned, they think that the body parts won't also be collected.
