Question
What does the Bible have to say about cremation. I know that ones salvation is not dependent on it, but what, if anything, does the Bible say?
Answer
The Bible does not say anything about cremation. (Ecc. 3:20 and 12:7) The body will return to the earth from whence it came and the spirit will return to God who gave it. At the resurrection we will all be given a new body (1 Cor. 15). So it wont matter whether one is burn accidentally, as in a house fire, or intentionally, as with cremation.
