Cremation

[Ramona66]

Hi all

I would like some output on how you feel, as a Christian, about cremation. I lost my daughter 2 months ago to covid. I never discussed with my kids how they wanted their body disposed because, like all parents, you don't think your kid would die before you do. She lived to be 32 years and passed 4 day before her 33rd birthday.

Here boyfriend of 13 years, who they have two beautiful children together ages 2 & 5 years old, said they had discussed it and they both want to be cremated.

I can't anything in the bible again cremation. Just wanted to get some feedback from other Christians

Thank you

Welcome to CF. I am so sorry to hear about your loss. At first I rejected the cremation route because somehow I felt bothered by it eventhough no actual scripture could backup my unease. So I'm curious what others think as I am tempted to go the Neptune direction.
Blessings

Traditionally, Jews and Christians practiced burials, in the hope of the future resurrection of the body.

Similarly, the roman catholic church in medieval era burnt the bodies of so called protestant heretics and spread their ash to rivers to exclude them ceremonially from the future resurrection.


But theologically, it means no problem for God, of course.
