No. many religions believe in it a part of their culture and beliefs. Catholics and Hindu is an example Surely true Roman Catholics don't cremate, since they await the physical resurrection of the body at the Day of Judgement. But catholics will cremate if they need too, for such purposes as plague, disease, or some form of the body being dangerous after death

Many Gods prefer cremation: it was an usual method for disposal of a dead body in both Greece and Rome, and is still favoured by Hindus today.

The Roman Catholic Church excommunicated quite a few private individuals for choosing cremation during the late nineteenth and early twentieth century (though none of the German Catholics who worked on the ovens in the death camps was sanctioned) but most Christian churches gradually warmed to the idea after an initial hostility.

Currently most Christian Churches accept cremation, though many still discourage it. Islam and traditional Judaism have an absolute prohibition of the practice.

Though there is nothing specific in The Bible prohibiting cremation of the Body.

Cremation is never mentioned in the bible. God is powerful enough to raise a cremated body. I do not see anything wrong with it. I personally I am not going to be cremated because I feel it would be disrespectful for me to burn my self. However I know plenty of very serious Christians that are planning on being cremated. I would pray about it.
