when i was a kid in catholic school, they taught me that my body needed to be preserved like this because jesus would come back someday and then all of the dead in heaven who were just spirits would come down, get their (perfectly intact??) bodies, and then go up into heaven as a FULL BODY and not just a spirit, and that was somehow apparently better?
i dunno. i have some bones rotting in a jar next to my little cottage and i have been putting offerings next to it. seems like a better way to go, especially since the bones will live on in my magic indefinitely.
