The answer
Why it is not there.
Not in the Bible
No. “Cremation” is not in the Bible.
It is not in the Lumin Translation or the King James Bible.
Burial was the custom, as when Abraham buried Sarah (Genesis 23:19). The men of Jabesh burned the bodies of Saul and his sons and then buried the bones (1 Samuel 31:12-13). The Bible does not forbid cremation. The hope it gives is the resurrection of the body (1 Corinthians 15:42).
