<img src="/forum/images/graemlins/my2cents.gif" alt="" /> Does Amos 2:1 teach us anything about cremation? Also, when possible, shouldn't we lovingly bury our loved ones rather than burn them which is a ritual closely identified with paganism and false religions?

One more thing, using martyrs and those who die in burning buildings and cars, plane crashes, etc. probably isn't the best argument to use in favor of cremation because those folks and their loved ones didn't plan for that "funeral".
