What Does The Bible Say About Cremation Verses Burial

(D) Fourthly, consider BURIAL points us to the glorious hopeof our RESURRECTION .John 5:28,29 (NKJV)Do not marvel at this; for the hour is coming in which all whoare in the graves will hear His voice, and come cforth—thosewho have done good, to the resurrection of life, and those who havedone evil, to the resurrection of condemnation.C O N C L U S I O NNow perhaps you are wondering about Christian loved ones who havealready been cremated? We must believe that the same God who canresurrect the ashes of Christians who were cremated arbitrarily throughpersecution or tragedy can resurrect the ashes of Christians who choseto be cremated.But in conclusion let me say this: In light of our study today, I believewe have learned that the Bible offers overwhelming support for theburial of the dead, while offering no support at all for cremation.These are matters I pray all of us will take into careful consideration.
