most people were buried..the ones who were burned were usually the criminals and those without any money to purchase a burial crypt.
But God will remember who you are no matter how you were laid to rest for there will be a resurrection of the righteous and the unrighteous.

The Bible doesn't condemn nor promote cremation. Its our choice to be buried or cremated. But I must say in biblical times if a body was cremated it was an insult.

Cremation causes in a short time what occurs over a long time through burial. When the time comes for the resurrection of our bodies, God is more than capable of bringing us back in bodily form. After all, He created the universe; something as easy as this would be no problem.
Besides, there is no command one way or the other.

God’s Word does recommend that the body of a dead loved one be dealt with in a dignified, respectful way. But whether a family, for emotional, economic or other reasons, will have a deceased loved one cremated or not is a personal matter.

Ecc 12:6 Or ever the silver cord be loosed, or the golden bowl be broken, or the pitcher be broken at the fountain, or the wheel broken at the cistern.
Ecc 12:7 Then shall the dust return to the earth as it was: and the spirit shall return unto God who gave it.

how a person can die can be many ways.
how a person is buried, donated body parts, or cremated and released into the air somewhere... it doesnt matter.

Personal decision depending on local custom and preferences.
No form of body disposal will prevent Jehovah from resurrecting those in his memory.

The Bible , or God, is impartial to how we are dealt with when we die, except the use of your body for medical research as it goes against the "natural use of ourselves"

I don't think the Bible really specifies, asside from the old "dust you are to dust you return" axiom.

As far as I know it doesn't speak of it at all. The references to the dead are all about how they do not know anything.
If you don't know you are dead who cares what happens to your body we'll get a new one in heaven anyway and God can rebuild anything.
