Would you cremate your child if that's what they wanted?

Sure, but I don't have a problem with cremation. In fact, my husband and I both plan on getting cremated when we die. I doubt an 11 year old would have much insight into the cremation process. I also doubt that they would care one way or the other. It's unfortunate and nobody wants their child to die. If something happened to my kids I would have them cremated. Personally speaking, the thought of sticking my dead child's body under the dirt bothers me more than burning them.
