St. Paul says, while we do happen to live on this earth, we really belong in heaven. By the way, CS Lewis says it another way, “You don’t have a soul. You are a soul. You have a body.” Regardless, we Christians look to heaven for Jesus to come again and take us with him. When Jesus comes back he will raise us up from the dead and change our mortal bodies into immortal bodies just like his.
I hope you can answer a question I’ve pondered for some time:
Yes, we await Jesus to raise our mortal bodies from the dead but, what happens to those of us who wish to be cremated?
Thank you in advance for your consideration.

Please forgive my long deal in getting back to you. Since you wrote me, I have been under the weather and training for my new position as an elected Pennsylvania State Constable. The short answer to your question is that everything is within the capabilities of God. Does it really make a difference to an all powerful God if a mortal body is decayed naturally in the earth, or in a more expedited method such as what happens during cremation. If you would like a longer answer, I am happy to provide one. Thank you for your patience with me.
