The burial of a human body in and of itself is not a religious act. The ritual which goes along with it, would be religious, if there is one.
There are several practical reasons to bury a human body, apart from religion:
- "Respect for the physical remains. If left lying on top of the ground, scavengers may eat the corpse, considered disrespectful to the deceased in many (but not all) cultures..."
- "Burial can be seen as an attempt to bring closure to the deceased's family and friends. Psychologists in some Western Judeo-Christian quarters, as well as the US funeral industry, claim that by interring a body away from plain view, the pain of losing a loved one can be lessened."
