Cremation for the Believer
Forum category
I did a quick SI search on this topic, and did not see any discussion. If there is a previous thread on this topic, please direct me to it, and I will happily defer to it.
A couple in our extended family has experienced a sudden, completely unforseen death in their young family. During our communication back and forth, they shared with me that the body will be cremated. I was surprised. No other member of our extended family has chosen cremation.
I know that the ancient practice was burial. Is there anything in Scripture that would allow or prohibit cremation as an option for the Believer?
Thank you for your input.

PM the mods. There has been discussion on this somewhere, but i have no idea where.
Why is it that my voice always seems to be loudest when I am saying the dumbest things?

You can also check the old archives (I believe Aaron is bringing them all over into the “new” SI framework, but it’s labor intensive) at:
