I would like to be buried because Jews do not believe in cremation because that is destroying the body that we consider is on lone from G-d and we don'd desecrate G-d's creations (hence the whole no tattoo thing in Judaism). I hope I helped!
I too believe in Judaism and I thought that there is a place where everyone goes for a "purification" sort of process after which they wait until the resurrection of the dead in the end of days in the era of Mashiach.


I swear never to be silent whenever wherever human beings are enduring suffering and humiliation. We must take sides. Neutrality helps the oppressor, never the victim. Silence encourages the tormentor, never the tormented. Sometimes we must interfere. When human lives are endangered, when human dignity is in jeopardy, national borders and sensitivities become irrelevant. Wherever men and women are persecuted because of their race, religion, or political views, that place must — at that moment — become the center of the universe.
