Is it normal i think this is the reason death related things bothered me?

About a month ago I asked a few questions on this site regarding death, detailing how I was disturbed by the decaying process and how I hated cremation and didn’t like looking at bodies (I guess we can call this the conclusion to my “trilogy” of questions).

But as time has gone on I think I found a theory: It’s perhaps because it’s a reminder that it’ll happen to me and everyone I love one day. There’s one video in particular that gave me hope that immortality could be possible (https://youtu.be/lzJQ8OtSFk4) and ever since then I’ve been overly confident in the possibility of it. But I have to accept the fact that it probably won’t, even if we can live for a long time we still have to go eventually, and I think the reason I don’t like cremation is

1. It destroys any and all chances of being brought back and
2. It pretty much destroys you instantly. If I’m going to decay I prefer it to be a natural process!

I mainly got thinking about this again since I started watching the YouTube channel Ask A Mortician, which is good if you’re trying to get used to this sort thing, but some may find its humor a bit tasteless (you can watch it here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WgSZeOWBF8M&list=PL1mDlI5Pm3DKM0q5Ku_k3ewX4qydF0ZJp) And that’s another thing, maybe I subconsciously am mad at myself for being a bit tasteless and having too dark a sense of humor about somethings, but that might be going too deep.

These were my other questions, if anyone is interested:

And

In both of these I left a comment on my final thoughts on what to do after my own death.

    Well, of course. I don't think anyone enjoys the idea of dying. Don't latch onto ideas of immortality. Best case scenario, it's not going to be as good as you think it will be.

    Funny point about the cremation thing. When I was a kid, I didn't want to be cremated because I thought there would be a chance I wasn't dead and get burned alive. Now, I think my body and soul are connected in some way and cremation may have a bad effect. Even if none of that is true, simply remember that skeletons are cooler than ashes.
