(REPLY) Sat Nam. Your intention is commendable, however, Sikhs believe in cremating the body upon death, so that no physical remnant is left on Earth to draw the soul away from Akal Purkh. Of course, it is your personal decision to make, but it seems to be it contradicts our understanding of the purpose of life, which is to unite with God -- not to stay Earth-bound. Blessings for your kindness. There are other ways to help people, while you're still alive! SP
