The Bible does not teach cremation and we wrote an investigative result of the source of cremation and it is pagan. The Bible always shows the respect for the body of the deceased. For our bodies to become compost for growing plants really denigrates the position of having dominion of this planet. Becoming plant food makes it appear that even the plants have dominion over us. Though "dust thou [art], and unto dust shalt thou return" (Genesis 3:19), it was never God's intention to have that process be encouraged along after dying. The fact that they claim, "The truth is, the last gesture most of us will make on this earth is toxic" shows that once again paganism is their God. It is earth worshipping. "Who changed the truth of God into a lie, and worshipped and served the creature more than the Creator, who is blessed for ever. Amen" (Romans 1:25). Earth is worshipped above human beings.
