Cremation has become increasingly common in recent decades, particularly in the Western world. Rising costs, limited burial space, and environmental concerns have led many families to view it as a practical and respectful alternative to traditional burial. Yet, for many Christians, the topic continues to stir questions of faith and tradition.

Many believers still wonder: Is cremation a sin according to the Bible? This question often sparks debate, as scripture, symbolism, and centuries of tradition shape how Christians view the body after death.

The Bible, however, does not explicitly forbid cremation. There is no commandment instructing believers to avoid it. Instead, the preference for burial comes largely from biblical custom and cultural context rather than direct teaching.
