Mahesh's Answer
The origin of Islam and ofcourse Chritenity took place in area of deserts ( Saudi Arabia annd Israel ) In these placec weather is very hot and dry plus littlle vegitation. So if a dead body is burried then it will decompose very fast. Secondly they make a mazar on place of burriel for prayer in future.
Where as in India we believe in returning all 5 elements ( we put ashes in river ) to nature after death and if the dead person had any diseases it will not get spread to others. We have "shradh paksh" to pray the departed relatives.
