Cremation does not “damage” or alter the spirit because consciousness has already separated from the physical body before the ritual act.

A process of transition, not disappearance. For Kübler-Ross, death is a transition—something experienced with clarity, peace, and profound meaning—and not a void or an absolute absence. People who have had near-death experiences (such as being clinically dead and then reviving) consistently share similar accounts: an intense light, the absence of pain, the presence of deceased loved ones, and a profound sense of love.

These kinds of experiences suggest that:

Consciousness can perceive the environment even when bodily functions have ceased.

Separation from the physical body is simply a step toward a broader state of perception and existence.

Cremation is considered a cultural or ritual practice, but not a factor that affects the continuity of the spirit.

Beyond the Body: An Invitation to Rethink Death

Kübler-Ross’s bold revelation challenges many traditional notions about death and the preservation of the body after passing. Her approach invites us to see life and death as parts of the same cycle:

The physical body is temporary, but consciousness or spirit transcends the bodily phenomenon.

Cremation, as well as other funeral practices, are symbolic acts for those left behind, rather than a determination of the final fate of consciousness.

Although these concepts cannot be scientifically verified with current technology, Kübler-Ross’s vision offers a new way to face death with less fear and more peace. For her, understanding death is, ultimately, understanding life itself.
