More and more Americans say they want to be cremated when they die. Would you consider cremation?

AMAD ALLEN

AMAD ALLEN, Dayton: “No. I just want my body to be shown like it was. I can’t see myself destroying my body like that.”

MARIE MILLER

MARIE MILLER, Greenville: “Yes. I think it’s just easier. I think that’s what I’m going to do. Who wants to lie there and have everyone filing by looking at them?”

ED MYERS

ED MYERS, Beavercreek: “I don’t think I would choose cremation, but I don’t have a good reason why. I’ve just never really considered it. I’m not planning on dying anytime soon.”

BILL MILLER

BILL MILLER, Urbana: “Yeah. It’s a cheaper way to go.”

SHANE PORTER

SHANE PORTER, Portsmouth: “No. I’d rather have the traditional way of doing things.”
