Which decision do you make first?

 

Near-death experiences offer a personal perspective on the afterlife. Many people report:

Experiencing peace and love
Seeing a bright light or spiritual being
Experiencing a life review
Receiving the message: “It’s not your time yet.”

It’s noteworthy that none of these accounts mention the state of the body—suggesting that the soul’s journey begins immediately after death, regardless of what happens afterward.

🕯️ What cremation can mean for the living
For many, cremation is not just a practical decision—it’s a ritual of letting go:

Relinquishing physical form
Fulfilling the wishes of a loved one
Returning the ashes to nature (water, earth, mountains)
Creating a space for healing
And in this act lies a quiet truth:

The soul was never in the ashes. It was in laughter, in love, in memories—and there it remains.

Final thoughts
We may never know for sure what happens to the soul after cremation.

Yet, in all faiths and philosophies, one truth recurs:

The soul is not bound to fire, earth, or time.

Regardless of whether one believes in reincarnation, resurrection, or returning to the universe, the soul is considered eternal, free, and invulnerable to physical destruction.
