Nothing forbids it or says it is a sin. HE will raise your Soul no matter how decomposed the body . You came from dust , and to dust you will return. The Soul lives forever.

Agree on Catholic position above.

My kids are under strict orders to have the Priest bless a brush pile on my place, throw my body on the brush pile and then burn the brush pile.

Play Freebird while lighting.

Cremation seems less gross than being posed in a casket.

I might get Taxidermied.
pre pay...I want the cheapest

Cremation here is around $250 + any extras you want. Just about what SSI payout is.
I googled it once and wiki says cremated remains can't get into heaven.

oh dude , the paper work around death is nuts

my wife passed at 11:15 to 11:20 at 12:47 they got a declared time of death.
there are rules about everything , don't die in the shirt you wanted to pass on to your kids , you can not have the garments a person died in back or if you do make sure they get it off you before the funeral home shows up.
only funeral home staff licensed can move bodies

the county issues a cremation license and it defines the crematorium

$$$
at every step of the way everyone has their hand out well sort of , the funeral home compiles it all and you write one check

also you don't burn down to ash , what is left is mostly bone , they don't actually burn , they get really brittle , then they run you through a grinder and if you intended some of the ashes to go into something other than the ern and they have lots of options , they have to grind you a few times. so you don't have bigger chunks of bone.

the check I wrote to the funeral home for all of it was $6157.00 that was taxes , oh yeah sales tax on top of all the other taxes. that was with the discount for not making them wait for the insurance company to pay.

then you get to start mailing death certificates places , the paperwork seems endless and I know how much she got ready for me to simplify this all.

Why can’t i burn my families remains f they are naturally deceased?

What are the consequences? Fine? Jail? I bet native Americans an do it free of any crime.

I would have no problem stoking the fire all night.

Guys, I’m just curious and wondering about other’s thoughts about cremation as far as the belief in Christian resurrection.
I’ve looked and tried my best to research it, and I can’t seem to find anything that supports nor condemns cremation.
Only places I have found , deals with king Saul and the bodies of his sons , who were killed in battle…
There bodies were retrieved and then cremated because the bodies were mutilated…
The other was achan and his family (he was looting when it was specified no looting was allowed after the destruction of jerhicho).
I can’t find any information that supports nor condemns it.
I guess if GOD can make a man out of the dirt, he’d have no problem restoring an individual from ashes.

A friend of mine had one of his hunting buddies die of cancer. The group of hunting buddies visited with him in hospice before he died and between the four of them decided to take possession of his ashes and reload it all in to 12 ga shotgun shells. After he was gone they boated out to a river bend beach, had a big bonfire, got rip roaring drunk and shot his ashes out over a private property owners place that had never given them permission to hunt!

Don't know what it cost them but I say that was a beautiful tribute.
