Wanda The body goes through a decay process upon death. If you look up a technical description of this process you see it basically oxidation. Fire is merely an accelerated form of oxidation. All you do by cremation is speed up what nature will do over time. Having said that Biblically there is no prohibition against cremation, however in paganism many times burning was a form of desecration of the body and was avoided by followers of God. There are exceptions to this in the Bible where bodies were burnt to prevent them from falling into the enemies hands but this happened very little. Having said that in our society where burial plots are becoming more scarce and funeral cost are soaring cremation becomes a viable alternative. In my family every close member that has died in the last ten years has been cremated and I find the process much more preferable to burial. I personally will be cremated as will my wife. However the final decision is yours. I hope I helped by sharing many points of view and thoughts on the matter. EdB |
