Bible Question: Is it a sin to be cremated after you die? |
Bible Answer: cheruboverme, Well I certainly hope not. I just lost my wife of 20years and we decided to cremate. Couldn't decide whether to bury her in Oklahoma or here in Colorado. Her family is in Oklahoma and myself, 2 sons, her daughter and family in Colorado. So, what do we do? Oklahoma means we would have to drive 450 miles to see her. Colorado means they would have the same distance. We opted for cremation and brought her home. Any family member who would like to have some of her ashes in a special urn or whatever can have her with them where ever they are. It may seem gross to some but my wife and my sons Mother "is sitting on the coffee table." There is no Biblical position whatever. When the resurrection occurs God will put them in their new body no matter what the condition. The body is just a store house while here on earth. Hope this helps, God bless, InGodITrust |
