OH noooo...it would not be better to just get toasted in Hell for free. Just think of it like this, if Heaven is so amazing, then Hell is the total opposite of it. Hell is a very very dark place and demons torture you for eternity. Its a lot more than getting toasted. Before you are cremated, you are already dead, so you won't feel anything when your being cremated because you are already in Hell (in this case), being tortured. You do not wanna go to Hell.

There are three words translated "hell" in Scripture:
Gehenna (Greek): The place of punishment (Matthew 5:22,29; 10:28; and James 3:6)
Hades (Greek): The abode of the dead (Matthew 11:23; 16:18, Luke 16:23; Acts 2:27)
Sheol (Hebrew): The grave (Psalm 9:17; 16:10)
There are those who accept that hell is a place of punishment, but believe that the punishment is to be annihilated—to cease conscious existence. They can’t conceive that the punishment of the wicked will be conscious and eternal. If they are correct, then a man like Adolph Hitler, who was responsible for the deaths of millions, is being "punished" merely with eternal sleep. His fate is simply to return to the non-existent state he was in before he was born, where he doesn’t even know that he is being punished.
However, Scripture paints a different story. The rich man who found himself in hell (Luke 16:19–31) was conscious. He was able to feel pain, to thirst, and to experience remorse. He wasn’t asleep in the grave; he was in a place of "torment." If hell is a place of knowing nothing or a reference to the grave into which we go at death, Jesus' statements about hell make no sense. He said that if your hand, foot, or eye causes you to sin, it would be better to remove it than to "go into hell, into the fire that never shall be quenched: where their worm dies not, and the fire is not quenched" (Mark 9:43–48).
The Bible refers to the fate of the unsaved with such fearful words as the following:
"Shame and everlasting contempt" (Daniel 12:2)
"Everlasting punishment" (Mathew 25:46)
"Weeping and gnashing of teeth" (Matthew 24:51)
"Fire unquenchable" (Luke 3:17)
"Indignation and wrath, tribulation and anguish" (Romans 2:8,9)
"Everlasting destruction from the presence of the Lord" (2 Thessalonians 1:9)
"Eternal fire...the blackness of darkness for ever" (Jude 7,13)
Revelation 14:10,11 tells us the final, eternal destiny of the sinner: "He shall be tormented with fire and brimstone...the smoke of their torment ascended up for ever and ever: and they have no rest day or night."

It's cheaper to get cremated and bury a tiny urn than to not get cremated and have to bury a giant box.
Here is a doozy of a counter question for you: When Jesus was ressurected and glorified, he still had the holes in his hands feet and side. If you get cremated and go to heaven, what are you going to look like?

I think it always pays to be cremated. I would hate to think that my dead rotted body would someday waste a piece of this earth. Once a body is buried in the ground, no one will ever use that space for anything else. know what I mean? I say... cremate me, take my ashes to my fav. bar and flush me down the toilet. And don't worry about hell... all your friends will be there too :-)

No one knows where they're going but I'd like it better if everyone was cremated instead of taking up valuable space. As it is, cemeteries should be bulldozed and cleared out to make way for housing for the homeless.

Here's what I don't get:
If hell is a physical place with physical fire, how can a spirit, something not tangible, burn?
Hell is nothing more than a ploy from the middle ages to scare people into joining the Catholic Church. Then when the religions reformation began, and all the baptist, protestant, lutheran, and so forth churches broke away from the Catholic church, they took the teaching with them.

It does not matter because it says in the bible there will be a new heaven and a new earth. This earth we are now on. Will no longer be here. So if a person is going to hell.
then they will diminish with this earth we are now on.

Why don't you try it, and see if it pays?
