What does the Bible say about burial and cremation?

Answered in 1 source

The Bible does not provide a definitive command regarding burial or cremation, allowing believers to choose based on their convictions.

The Scriptures do not explicitly state whether believers should be buried or cremated, which leaves room for individual discretion based on personal convictions. However, biblical instances suggest that burial aligns with honoring the deceased and reflecting faith in the resurrection. For example, Joseph’s request to be buried in Canaan was an act of faith in God’s promise of redemption, emphasizing the importance of burial as a symbol of hope and continuity of life beyond death.
