I'm agnostic about the issue of rebirth and karma, really. They do seem like a more fair and reasonable system than heaven and hell though. I do have to admit some of the article seems mired in superstitious that I really think is detached from the Buddha's core message of suffering. For instance, the part about not touching the body for 3-8 hours just seems odd to me, but as far as things like that go it's harmless.
