no he was buried coz there was no such thing as cremated back then
No. Cremation is not usually used by Catholics now days, and it DEFINITELY wouldn't have been used then. In fact, Saint Peters remains are kept in the crypt under Saint Peters Basilica in the Vatican.

∙ 9y agoAncient Romans were usually cremated but Peter was a foreigner and considered by the Romans as a criminal. He was crucified and his body left for scavengers. Peter's body was taken by Christians and buried on the site of today's Saint Peter's Basilica where it remains today beneath the main altar.
