"The Church raises no doctrinal objections to this practice, since cremation of the deceased's body does not affect his or her soul, nor does it prevent God, in his omnipotence, from raising up the deceased body to new life." Even bodies buried traditionally eventually decompose.

Read More »There is a lot to think about during your end-of-life planning. You have to consider everything from your legal and financial matters to how you would like to be remembered. There is also the decision on whether you would like to be buried or cremated. Cremation has been around for at least 40,000 years and is now outpacing traditional burials because it is typically more affordable and offers flexibility for families that have moved far away from family plots. There is also your religion to consider. Your faith has guided you through some of the hardest decisions during your life — and as you start to plan for your end of life, you may be wondering what the Bible says about cremation. While the Bible does not explicitly contain any directions on burials, some passages may help you decide what is best for you and your family while still honoring your religion.

We were formed from the earth by God, and upon death, we all return to it. Many people who choose cremation find comfort knowing that their body eventually returns to “ash” and “dust” — becoming part of nature’s cycle again. Also, in the King James Version of the Bible, two passages in Corinthians reference cremation. In 1 Corinthians 13:3, the apostle Paul writes, “And though I bestow all my goods to feed the poor, and though I give my body to be burned, and have not charity, it profiteth me nothing.” Again, nowhere in the passage is cremation frowned upon. The passage focuses not on how your body is treated after death but what good you did during your lifetime. We can see this sentiment again in 2 Corinthians 5:1-5: “For we know that if our earthly house of this tabernacle were dissolved, we have a building of God, a house not made with hands, eternal in the heavens.” While not specifically mentioning cremation, God’s creations continue to live in the kingdom of heaven even if their earthly forms are destroyed.

It can be stressful, especially after experiencing the loss of a loved one. Unlike traditional embalming, your family and friends will have all the time needed to make decisions and travel for the funeral services. Affordability: It’s always difficult to bring up the cost associated with end-of-life planning, but you need to consider it. Cremation is far cheaper than embalming and an urn is more affordable than a casket. If you are Catholic, you may wonder if cremation conflicts with Catholic teachings. However, there are ways to honor your Catholic upbringing if you choose to be cremated. In 1963, the Catholic church changed its stance on cremation — now allowing it as long as the body is present during the funeral. The Catholic Church considers the human body to be sacred, even in death. As long as the cremated remains are treated with the same level of respect and dignity that a body would receive, cremation is still in line with Catholic teachings.
