i quite agree with you,brit.....and it's certainly not right to demand to be cremated in open air.about the temple....don't you think that's okay of sorts?coz there is such a huge population of hindu believers in the UK and catering to their religious interests isn't all that bad.....of course,allowing cremations is a totally different issue altogether.period!but having a magnificent temple....is that really a problem?u must visit india (in case u already haven't) and do take a look at the towering cathedrals and imposing mosques dotted all over the country.many of them are built so beautifully that they would easily rival their western or arab counterparts.india and indians respect and tolerate all religions and faiths.....and having a new church/mosque built in their village/town/city will only be consider as an added splendour by the locals :-)
