Why aren't we all buried when we die?

Burial of the body after death is a cultural custom. Although it's fairly common, it is not universal. Some cultures burn the body instead of burying it, or send it out to sea. Some religions have specific rules for the treatment of a dead body. Judaism, for example, requires the body to be buried. The spirit of God inhabited it, and thus the body is treated with respect and honored according to religious custom. The burial must be done as soon as possible after the person's death, with exceptions made for situations such as allowing far away relatives to attend the funeral. There is also the interesting (but very rare in modern times) ritual of the "sky burial", practiced by Tibetan Buddhists. In a sky burial, the body is cut into pieces and left out in the open to be devoured by birds and decomposed by the elements. Buddhism regards a dead body as an empty vessel that no longer has any importance to the soul or the person it belonged to. Allowing nature to consume the body is merely considered an appropriate way of returning the body to its most elemental state. While some cultures do default to burial in the absence of instructions to the contrary, many people dictate in their wills that they wish to be disposed of in some other way. Cremation is a common method, which has the advantage of not requiring a parcel of land. In some situations, cremation or mass burial are the only suitable methods of disposing of the deceased. In cases of mass-death (such as a natural disaster), the bodies pose a serious risk of disease and water contamination. For safety reasons, the bodies must be disposed in a sanitary way. Cremation is often preferred because it does not require land for burial, or because the only available land is too close to human habitation or water sources.
