Cremation is the way to go. Thousands of dollars cheaper than burial and no need to buy a coffin.
Cremation are mostly done by cultural belief like people who believes in evolution and the non existence of god.
When someone is grieving about losing some close to them let say by accident or suffering, the though of finally inflicting the finish to their remains by burning is haunting.
Could a burial or cremation. We ALL MUST APPEAR BEFORE THE JUDGEMENT SEAT OF CHRIST JESUS
Revelation 20:13
“And the sea gave up the dead which were in it, and death and hell delivered up the dead which were in them: and they were judged every man according to their works”.
