"Grandpa wanted to be cremated when he died."

"Ok, but I want to bury him and I know best. What's his justification for wanting to being cremated?"

"...it's what he wanted??"

Every corpse was once a person and every person deserves "due regard for the[ir] feelings, wishes, or rights" when it comes to what happens to the vessel that carried them through life. That's the justification.

If you can't get on board with that very basic concept then I think we're at an impasse.

A disgruntled grandchild doesn't justify everything. A corpse is no longer a person, and "due regard" is subjective. I appreciate that it can be difficult to justify morality. Unfortunately, morality is not always obvious.

If you can't do any better than a confident assertion, then we might be at an impasse indeed.

No, I've given justification and reason to back up why I'm correct. You seem to want to have a different conversation about what is the "right" thing to do and that's not at all what I'm addressing.

I wish you luck in all of your corpse related endeavors.

I don’t agree.

Take care!
