So hanging around for years and years in an air tight casket is a good thing?? Why? Your soul is gone, so that body is basically useless anyway.
Besides, the Bible talks about how from dust we are created and to dust we will return. Being sealed in an air tight casket so that nature cannot take it's course doesn't seem quite right to me somehow.
I don't think cremation is right for everybody. But I think for those who prefer it, there is nothing wrong with it. Just like I think that if you want to spend your hard earned money on a vault that will keep your body in-tact until the Rapture happens, that is also your choice. But I truly do not believe that God gives a rotten banana which way you choose.

Whatever the departed requested in life or in death if it's ungodly or paganistic then we can't fulfill it. It's from their evil rituals that have to do with re-incarnation. they have no regard for the God we serve. Did you ever read where jesus, the Prophets or the servants of God were cremated??? If they was burned it was an Evil act.
the act of burial is the most respected form of disposing of that which our Lord created. come on Marg you ought to know better
