Christian views on cremation have evolved over time. Traditionally, especially in Catholicism, burial was preferred due to beliefs about bodily resurrection. However, cremation is now widely accepted among most Christian denominations, as long as it is not chosen to deny belief in the resurrection.
Christianity teaches that the soul is judged by God and enters heaven, hell, or a state of waiting (such as purgatory in Catholicism). The soul’s journey is seen as independent from the condition of the body, whether buried or cremated. Ultimately, it is one’s faith and relationship with God that determine the soul’s fate—not the method of body disposal.
3. Islam: Preservation of Dignity
Islam strictly prohibits cremation. Muslims believe that the body should be buried as soon as possible after death, in a simple and respectful manner. The soul, according to Islamic belief, departs the body at death but retains a connection to it until the Day of Judgment.
The prohibition of cremation is rooted in the belief that the human body, even in death, deserves dignity and care. Burial is seen as a sign of respect and submission to God’s will.
