It's unfortunate that modern society is so uninvolved with death that witness cremations (that's what they're called) are rarely done and are considered "creepy" and whatnot.
Here's an ad for a funeral home that offers it. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DIPULcHHmYw
Anybody that has ever dealt with the arrangements of having someone buried will tell you that it's like buying a car. I hate to sound harsh, but when you walk into a funeral home- it's literally just like used car salesmen.
It's the oddest thing I've ever experienced in my whole life.
You can either get the packaged deals or basic stuff then add extras to build up. Each extra makes the basic cost go up.
Those videos are shocking....and just creepy. I don't understand why you would post them to facebook at all?
I guess I'm in the minority here, but I don't really find these videos to be shocking or creepy. To me, they're no less intimate than birth videos. I thought the videos were beautiful in their own right.
The only thing that bothers me is that it is a young woman lost to suicide. Beyond that, I think these videos are a great way to normalize death and what happens to our bodies when we die, especially since a lot of us will elect to be cremated when we pass. American culture has a tendency to skirt the topic of death and dying, so I thought these videos were a refreshing and tasteful change of pace in the direction of normalizing a crucial component of the circle of life.
I think it's a relatively new thing that's come about because of all the cases of dodgy funeral homes though, hasn't it?

Horrible.
As if family & friends aren't already dealing with enough without also having to worry about a loved one being subjected to abuse/indignity in death.
The young suicides always get me. I lost so many friends between 15-25 that I don't even have enough fingers to count them. It's a rough, rough age for a lot of people. I wish they all could've held on a little longer, not just the ones I knew
RIP Rose. I'm hope you're family & friends are ok, but I know they're all doing it hard.
Was anyone able to find out why she did it?
That video was so sad, hard to watch it felt like something that should be blasted on social media but only shared with close family and friends.
R.I.P Rose

Here's Rose's instagram. Not many posts. I haven't read through any of the comments yet: https://instagram.com/tkdpersianprincess/
Comment from the first pic:
Hey Rose's friends... I have only briefly known Rose before her passing. She was regularly physically abused and shamed by her mom.... Rose had text messages of her mom literally saying how she wished Rose was never born and how she wished Rose was dead. The day before Rose passed, her mother asked for a "transformation" from her since she has always wanted a boy. Rose had to cut off all her hair and had to go no contact with her friends. This ultimately devastated Rose and ultimately led to her passing. This is extremely fucked up. You guys need to know about this.... R.I.P. Justice For Rose
And apparently her mother has been telling people she died from a heart attack:
at least you know it wasn't a heart attack, her mom said it was because she didn't want anyone to know her daughter committed suicide but she told one of her friends that she would always be in her heart

A 6th Cousin 1x Removed Of Mine Was Cremated In 1989 When He Died At My Age. Obviously I Never Met Him. http://www.findagrave.com/cgi-bin/fg...eynyY.facebook
Oh God, Stop The Voices *SCREAM*

Now she is resting in peace without all the abuse and pain her mother caused her. Too young, so many other ways to try and get help. :(
I wonder how much of that is really true.
Happy Birthday! I hid a dead body in your backyard to celebrate. Good luck finding it under the cement. You can only use a stick to look for it.
Was it her mother that posted those videos??
I get WHY it's more uncomfortable to witness a cremation than a burial... but really, why is it? The finality of it? I mean, burial is definitely supposed to be final, but do people keep in the back of their head that the person's body is still intact, and find comfort in that? I know burial is more popular for religious reasons (let's not get into how ridiculous that is), but is this another reason? Keeping a shell intact?
Oh, death is fascinating.
I recently read an article about a different crematorium that also buried the bodies "out back" and returned asphalt to the families. Ugh. I think ensuring the final resting place is where the family thinks it is can be a big factor.
Yeah I'm skeptical about the whole "transformation" thing. I do think that the mother/family may have told people she had a heart attack because several friends mentioned that in comments on the picture.
I got the vibe it was her sister?
That's what I thought too.
I'm afraid to look.
I looked. That whole Facebook is depressing.
The second video is especially intimate. Her people are having their final personal moments with her, and someone is filming it and posting it online... seems strange. Filming the cremation didn't seem so strange to me, but this one did not sit right. I feel I would tell someone with a camera to kick rocks. She did not look natural./random
Ha ha! That didn't take long

Yeah, that whole Facebook profile is kind of weird.
From reading more of her timeline and some of the comments, Sara is Rose's mum.
That first video looked like her mom, maybe, putting different clothes on top of her like maybe she wanted her outfit changed. Both were really sad especially since she was so young and committed suicide.
My mother was buried and yes the funeral home was like a used car place. All they do is try to get you to buy a fancy coffin, etc. her funeral cost over $10k and that was in 1990. it's harder to imagine her in the ground than understanding the creamation process and since my dad was creamated, he gets to rest where he wanted and not some cemetery that no one visits anymore.
The comments on her Instagram are so sad and several of her friends were commenting that they knew her mother was psycho. Also I couldn't tell in the videos but in her pictures she has long beautiful hair and the comments said something about her having to get her hair cut off, it was part of the transformation comment. Can anyone else who watched the videos tell how long her hair is?
In the video of them choosing an outfit for her, they lift her hair up and place it ontop of her shirt, it's still long.
Yeah, that Facebook is one off. It's like "Here's my daughter living. Here's my daughter dead. Here's how we make some pudding. Let's do some wierd shit with fruit.". I don't get it.
