Dear Fred

What are your thoughts on cremation?

Fred's Response

When asked the same question about cremation a prominent theologian answered that he didn't think the Almighty God would be thwarted if the worms ate the body, or the flames turned the body to ashes --- and whether those ashes were kept in an urn or scattered over the ocean. In resurrection His plan will prevail. I agree with this viewpoint. Interment, in my opinion, is more traditional than theological.
