Don’t let guilt drive the decision – God’s grace covers this choice
Focus on worship, not worry – A funeral is for the living and for God’s glory, not a test of orthodoxy
A Final Word
The Bible doesn’t forbid cremation. It doesn’t command a single method of burial. What it does is give us a vision of the body as sacred, destined for resurrection, and worthy of honor in death as in life.
For centuries, Christians expressedthat honor through burial. Today, many express the same honor through cremation. The method may change, but the hope remains the same:
“For as in Adam all die, so in Christ all will be made alive.” (1 Corinthians 15:22)
Whether buried in the earth or scattered as ash, we rest in that promise. And that promise is stronger than any fire.
