===Wicca=== Both burial and cremation are practiced by [[Wicca]]ns and there is no set directive on how the body should be disposed of after death. Wiccans believe that the body is merely a shell for the spirit so cremation is not viewed as irreverent or disrespectful.<ref name="Buckland">{{cite book |last1=Buckland |first1=Raymond |title=Wicca for Life: The Way of the Craft—From Birth to Summerland |date=2003 |location=New York |isbn=0806538651 |page=224}}</ref> One tradition practiced by Wiccans is to mix the ashes from cremation with soil which is then used to plant a tree.<ref name="MacMorgan">{{cite book |last1=MacMorgan |first1=Kaatryn |title=All One Wicca: A Study in the Universal Eclectic Tradition of Wicca |date=2001 |publisher=Writers Club Press |location=San Jose, California |isbn=059520273X |page=113 |edition=Revised}}</ref>
