I do not believe it is a denial of the resurrection as I feel if God can resurrect those turned to dust so too can He do this with ashes.

No problem as long as the remains are treated with respect.
Cheers :-)

Of course God can resurrect those turned to ashes if He so desires. Otherwise, then would people who died in a fire be out of luck?! I believe that cremation is probably the most sensible manner of dealing with a dead body, since it would take up less space. I also believe that clinging to the physical body is not good, and so cremation makes sense. The person that you love is not the body, but the soul, and it leaves the body when someone dies. After this, the body is useless. Why cling to it?

I'm just not at all crazy about the idea of cremation !! Yet & still I do'nt feel I have much of a say so!?! Because ;Decades from now'. Money will rule my burial decision out!?! Just so someone with tons of money can build an office or market over the area!!or I might even be buried on top of people I may have never met!?! Just so some space will be saved !?! I'll bet anything that this happends today!?! & those dead may not have wanted it that way when they had been alive!. but many of us I'm sure knows that it's happening today`!` or in this common e-ra !?! or we are being stacked on`top of one another ;-`( R r R r R -->

When a body is cremated, it will have various movements such as trying to sit up. This is because of the muscle contractions when the body juices are being dried up. Often the skull will explode with a plop. There will be smell of human flesh and especially fat burning up. I took part in cremations mainly on funeral pyres and some times on electric crematorium for many of my fellow people including my own father.
I want to be cremated as soon as possible when I die. But I am a Hindu and that is the way of life here! I wonder why people whose way of life is different would prefer cremation

Cremation is permitted if this act does not demonstrate a denial of faith in the body's resurrection (Canon 1176).
Peace and blessings!

Personally and away from religions I wouldn't like to burned after I die, not that I rather rott in a moist coffin but I just don't like being burned.
Religiously, and here I speak of Islam, it is out of respect to the dead that Cremation is not allowed as it is considered as mutilating the dead, or at least I believe so.

"Of dust thou art, and to dust thou shalt return."
I don't think cremation has any religious implications at all. As a practical matter, I believe it's environmentally better than burial, and would also relieve considerable expense to many bereaved individuals who at their most vulnerable time find themselves victimized by unscrupulous funeral directors trying to make a buck by getting people to spring for elaborate funerals for their departed loved ones.
There is nothing particulary sacred about the body once the soul has departed. Cremation would save money and free up much needed land now (in my opinion) being wasted on cemetaries.

i have a lot of diff rent thoughts on this.my first thought is no one is going to shovel dirt in my face,but if we become ashes and scatted we are returned to the earth.the way the world is growing we will run out of room to bury people so i guess cremation helps in that sense.i guess after you are gone you will not know the difference will you

I think cremation is practical. We put bodies in the ground and tie up useable land forever. We have to pay over $6,000 for funerals, caskets, vaults, head stones, plots. Why go through all of that?

I dont believe our physical body gets ressurected
it is our spirit that lives on after death
the body is just clothing while we are in this physical life
although I do believe in auric counterparts of our physical body , and our body should be kept in fairly good condition ( until death )
but after death , it isnt needed
so cremation is not a problem for me
