Cremation

[waterfall77]

Is cremation ok, and are there any scriptures  that talk about it?

Ecc 3:20

All go unto one place; all are of the dust, and all turn to dust again.  Ashes or dust i dont see any difference in the process of getting there except one is quicker. I do not know of any scripture or scriptural principle against it nor allowing for it. Ancient Greeks practiced it as far back as 3000 yrs ago. I dont believe it was common in Christ's day but even it it was there was no way it would have been used on him for it was written
Psa 16:10

For you will not leave my soul among the dead
or allow your holy one to rot in the grave.

I personally think it is a good option in this modern era. Cremation is basically the same spiritual process that will be and already is being done to our dead works.

Thanks for your input.  I came across someone that said the bible said we're not suppose to be cremated.  I never heard the bible talk about that before, So I just wanted to hear your thoughts. 
Also we are getting new bodies ,2 Corinthian's 5:1-10.
I just wanted to make sure I was thinking correctly about this topic.

           Thanks again,  Aubrey
