I'm not too sure about cremation. You may want to study that from the 3 major religions: Christianity, Judaism, and Islam (and also Buddhism), before arriving at a conclusion / decision? In my humble opinion, the body in major religions and schools of thought is like a temple for the Soul, so at which time does one mess with it or decide to "interfere" etc with it, and at which point is its God's decision. Should we interfere with the body temple" that's 1 of the reasons why suicide is frowned upon by most every religion.

Again, read Ecclesiastes 12, particularly verses 6 and 7

6 Or ever the silver cord be loosed, or the golden bowl be broken, or the pitcher be broken at the fountain, or the wheel broken at the cistern.

7 Then shall the dust return to the earth as it was: and the spirit shall return unto God who gave it.

Or, consider Luke 23:

39 And one of the malefactors which were hanged railed on him, saying, If thou be Christ, save thyself and us.

40 But the other answering rebuked him, saying, Dost not thou fear God, seeing thou art in the same condemnation?

41 And we indeed justly; for we receive the due reward of our deeds: but this man hath done nothing amiss.

42 And he said unto Jesus, Lord, remember me when thou comest into thy kingdom.

43 And Jesus said unto him, Verily I say unto thee, Today shalt thou be with me in paradise.

Just food for thought. Also, Reformed Judaism allows cremation, although it isn't their primary choice.

Personally, I don't think God is against it. Some people may not be financially able to pay for a burial or don't wish to pass the cost onto their children. What about someone that dies in a fire? I don't think God culls them out for that.

Just my observations. Everyone has to make their own choices.

For Christians at death, soul leaves the body so we don’t need the body. The body isn’t a temple anymore....it’s an empty vessel.

Some ppl like to debate a timeframe after death. The Bible records 13 sightings. I’ve read 38 or 40 days.
