The microscopic world contains many bacteria and viruses, of which some are detrimental to the health and longevity of Human Sapiens and Homo Beings. These contagions can cause death in days and may stay active in the rotting corpse for months, depending on temperature, humidity, viral coating, and bacterial tenacity. There is no formula, just guidelines and approximate estimates. So when a deceased individual dies because of an infection, all funeral patrons put themselves at risk of contacting the same malady as the victim. The only sure fired way to make sure the murdering culprit is annihilated is to cremate the corrupted corpse and permanently remove the pathogen. FIRE GOOD! Some religions frown on this procedure because the body is consumed in this technique. When judgment day rolls around, there will be nothing left to reassemble except 4-8 pounds of the deceased in phosphate, calcium, and some other chemical crap. This waste goes in a container known as an urn, and then this poses a threat to the virus or bacterial world. The bacteria replicates by itself but needs a human cell source for the energy to reproduce. Whereas the virus needs the mechanisms within the human cell to replicate. Seeing as how both contagions have extremely limited mobility, their existence depends on live Sapiens, or Saps for short. The question then arises as to who is the real contagion? Seeing as how Saps are dead for way longer than they are alive, then the human contagion is a contagion for much longer than the little contagions who threaten us only when we are alive. Viruses and bacteria always avoid going to Sap funerals because they wish to extend their family trees. So Saps can attend the Sap wakes without fear because contagions do not want to end up in Contagion Hell. FIRE BAD!
