I see this as a gift of service for God's gift to me of life and continuing to give to others of a body that remains a shell while my soul is with the Lord. I know God can put all my parts back together if he needs me to use them, so why not let someone learn from me? Any thoughts from Scripture, or do you see this as a discussion akin to creamation? - jeanne allen Sun, 29 Apr 2007 16:51:11 +0100 http://www.calvaryefc.org/content/view/705/791/#pc_46 I believe cremation is a viable choice. When a loved one has requested it or stated so for their personal reasons it should be honored. In the case of a loved one who passes away in a remote location or part of the world where preservation is not possible, it only makes sense. Our first concerns should be our walk with God and the souls of others. I have a familiarity with the process of grieving, rejoicing and funeral arrangements having attended countless memorials begininng at an early age and having prepared at one time to become a mortician.... (Barb helped refocus my career choice). One of the more lighthearted moments of my life came at my own mom's interment following a cremation and 2 wonderful memorial services. I will not share that incident on this blog but my family and I can look back 9 years later with laughter as well as joy that she was with the Lord and finally in her temporary place of rest....Tim. - Ruopsa, Tim Sat, 28 Apr 2007 21:59:28 +0100
