There are verses of people being burnt to death but no, there are not 'voluntary' or by choice creamations in Scripture as the common method of burial was in a tomb, cave, or ground to dispose of the body. There is in 2 Chronicles 16:12-15 about a diseased Asa who was burned after he died and God getting upset in Amos 2:1 at the cremating of Moab (also 1 Samuel 31:12 of King Saul and his sons) if these answer your question. However, there is no command not to creamate in the Scripture so it appears to be in the realm of Christian freedoms.

Regardless if a body returns to the dust slowly via burial or more quickly via cremation is not a problem for God to give all new bodies to stand in the Judgment process (see Ezekiel 37; Daniel 7:10; 1 Corinthians 15:38-55; and Revelation 20:12).
