Intro: Our subject is cremation, or burial; which is right? We are talking about what is right for Christians, not non-Christians. Now, I have never had the interest to study this matter. I was asked about it some time ago and then I saw an article in a paper on this subject and read it and then I got an interest to study it. It might be that you say, "Why speak on this. It is not an issue here?" Some years ago Calvinism was unheard of here except for what I had preached. We may next have a charismatic church. I have covered at least some of the main issues. And it could be that you may be called on to make a decision regarding the subject of cremation through some family issue, and you will at least have heard a message on it. Why speak about this? One article said, "For the first time in American history, a majority of Americans (50.2 percent) have chosen cremation rather than burial (48.5 percent) after their death. The National Funeral Directors Association expects the trend shifting from burial toward cremation to continue over the next 20 years, with the projected rate of cremation reaching 78.8 percent of deaths by 2035." Maybe you will be asked to made some sort of decision in the future and you will be aware of the subject.
