π What the Bible Actually Says
The Bible does not contain a clear command that cremation is sinful. There is no specific verse that says a person must be buried instead of cremated.
However, burial was the most common practice in biblical times. For example:
Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob were buried
Jesus Himself was laid in a tomb after His crucifixion
Because of this, many see burial as the traditional or symbolic practice.
