What is something that might cross your mind when thinking about what happens after we pass on? If we ask older family members it's probably "Where do you want to be buried?" or "Did you reserve the spot in the family crypt"? However, other people also think about another method of letting the body pass into eternity. Cremation.

You’ve probably heard about it, maybe even considered it for yourself or a loved one. It’s a simple idea, really: turning the body into ashes. But if you're a Christian and you think about what the Bible says, things can feel a little more complicated. Does cremation go against Scripture? Is it okay for Christians to choose this option?

The Bible doesn’t give us a clear “yes” or “no” on cremation. That’s why people often feel unsure about it. This article is here to break it down for you. We’ll explore some Bible stories where the burning of bodies is mentioned and look at what ancient burial practices were like. By the end, you’ll have the facts to make a decision that feels right for you and your faith.
