Achebe, DQ, & tectak: thanks so much for your valuable feedback!
I will likely cut the whole 'body intact/resurrection' thing, so I'm going to make free to explain where I got that concept: https://cremationinstitute.com/can-catho...-cremated/
My thought was that some people might be concerned about dismemberment or burning, etc. I don't know about protestants, but the Catholic church has some "preferences" about how a body is to be interred with a view toward resurrection. The Egyptians preserved bodies and organs through mummification for use in the afterlife. This consideration of bodily integrity is something that's concerning to a lot of people, even if it's not for religious reasons as I said in the poem.
As for the ifrit issue, that's what I get for trusting a shady wiki article....
Obviously I don't science very well, and that will have to be rectified.
Again, thanks for all the crits, and I will respond to each of them in more detail once I've digested.
