Few subjects invite as much quiet contemplation as what happens after d3ath and how the body should be honored at the end of life.

As cremation becomes increasingly common for cultural and practical reasons, many people of faith pause to ask deeper questions: Does this choice hold spiritual significance? Does it conflict with belief?

The curiosity is less about the physical process and more about what it symbolizes. For generations shaped by tradition, conversations about cremation often lead to a broader reflection on scripture, symbolism, and the enduring hope that anchors faith.

The Bible does not offer a direct command regarding cremation. However, it repeatedly presents burial as the customary practice. From the patriarchs of the Old Testament to the burial of Jesus Himself, laying the body in the earth appears throughout scripture as an act of honor and expectation.
