Is Cremation Christian?

  • Should we as Christians be concerned about the disposal of the dead? Everyone eventually will have to make a dicision about how to dispose of a deceased loved one. What was once unpopular, even distasteful, is now a quick, inexpensive way to dispose of our dead. My question to you is whether it is right for us Christians to practice cremation? Is Cremation Christian-Give Biblical Arguments For Cremation? Is Cremation Christian-Give Nonbiblical Arguments For Cremation? Can we come up with a Therapy and Morality reasons? Can you give me either/or Positive, Negative on this Christian topic? What do you think? What do you believe? Thank You & God Bless.  Rev. John.
