Question
Does it say anywhere in the Bible, that we are to be buried, and not cremated? And if so, what referrence's address this?

Answer
There is no reference to having to be burned or cremated or buried. Its your choice. Whichever way the body decays and the atoms change and disintegrate.

However God is able to find all these atoms, even when peoples bodies are eaten by animals, and put them together again.


God will raise our bodies in their entirety as He has already done with other saints in Matthew 27:52,53.

Hope this helps Allison?

God bless
