The basic idea is that by choosing a gentle method of burial, you allow the microlife in your body to complete their own life paths in the most natural way. <\/p>\n<p>In his book <a href=\"https:\/\/shop.martinus.dk\/andre-boeger-30\/bisaettelse-p116\"><em>Bis\u00e6ttelse<\/em><\/a> (working title: On Funerals), which is not yet available in English, Martinus describes the development of a new humane funeral culture based on the principle of reincarnation and an expanded understanding of neighbourly love that also embraces the microlife in one&#8217;s abandoned body. According to Martinus\u2019s analyses, this has implications for how the body should ideally be treated when one dies. <\/p>\n<p>Martinus saw the body as a microcosmos filled with microscopic forms of animal life. He believed that this microlife \u2013 like all other forms of life \u2013 has its own life paths that should ideally be lived to their end. A humane funeral supports this aim by, among other things, avoiding cremation.[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row _builder_version=&#8221;4.16&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; custom_margin=&#8221;127px||||false|false&#8221; custom_padding=&#8221;||0px||false|false&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][et_pb_column type=&#8221;4_4&#8243; _builder_version=&#8221;4.16&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][et_pb_divider _builder_version=&#8221;4.16&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;281285ab-00e9-4cb9-bfbe-a1857cf5e0a4&#8243; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][\/et_pb_divider][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row column_structure=&#8221;2_3,1_3&#8243; _builder_version=&#8221;4.16&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][et_pb_column type=&#8221;2_3&#8243; _builder_version=&#8221;4.16&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][et_pb_text _builder_version=&#8221;4.20.0&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;a7e1c485-e27d-480d-9daf-074e6a8955ae&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;]<\/p>\n<h2>More about humane funerals<\/h2>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=&#8221;4.20.0&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;a7e1c485-e27d-480d-9daf-074e6a8955ae&#8221; custom_padding=&#8221;30px|30px|||false|false&#8221; hover_enabled=&#8221;0&#8243; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221; sticky_enabled=&#8221;0&#8243;]The Martinus Institute has prepared a leaflet in Danish with more detailed information on what options you have to choose a more gentle funeral in Denmark.
