Because historically, cremation was generally used as a denial of the Resurrection. But it doesn't have to deny the Resurrection, which is why the Church allows it now (however, the Church still does not recommend or encourage cremation).

And even under those circumstances, the Church wishes that it be done after the funeral. .from The Catechism of the Catholic Church, second edition, English translation 19942301 Autopsies can be morally permitted for legal inquests or scientific research. The free gift of organs after death is legitimate and can be meritorious. .The Church permits cremation, provided that it does not demonstrate a denial of faith in the resurrection of the body. (Cf. Code of Canon Law, can. 1176, section 3)

Why is being Catholic a topic of controversy?
Roman Catholic AnswerIt is only controversial to those who are "of this world" as the Catholic Church is not of the world and Our Blessed Lord specifically warned us that all would be against us, but that He would send the Holy Spirit who would be with us and guide us until the end of the world. Because Satan is ruler of this world, and He is most vehemently opposed to the Body of Christ.
