In Christianity, this was invented by Protestants to mock the Catholic idea of "Judgment Day" i.e that one day all the dead would rise and be judged. The idea was that if someone's body was burnt they couldn't rise again.
This has since been a common practice in many religions including Catholicism; my late grandmother as cremated after hearing the Pope had decided it was forgivable.
