For many Christians, the choice between burial and cremation feels like standing at a crossroads where love, faith, and fear all speak at once. They remember the scenes of Scripture: graves bought in faith, tombs sealed with stone, the tender care given to Jesus’ body. Burial can feel like a visible echo of the gospel, a seed sown in trust that God will raise what is laid down. Letting a body return to the earth seems to harmonize with the ancient rhythm of dust and breath.

Yet beneath the practices lies a deeper assurance: God’s power is never limited by what remains. History is filled with bodies never buried, never found, yet not beyond His reach. For many, peace comes in asking not “What will God do with these remains?” but “What does this choice say about my heart?” When love, humility, and trust lead the decision, they find rest in knowing that resurrection depends not on caskets or urns, but on the faithful hands that first shaped them from the dust.
