What religion doesn't do cremation?

Answer 1

Several Religions either categorically forbid cremation, or they severely disapprove of it.

Islam and the Baha'i faith both forbid cremation. In the case of Baha'i, however,

if it is a legal requirement that the body be cremated, then they will accept it.

Certain groups of eastern Orthodox Christians forbid cremation. The Catholic Church also disapproves of it, but will accept the practice. The reason for this disapproval on behalf of the Catholics and the Orthodox, is that cremation is the destruction of the body and denies the resurrection of the body at the second coming of Christ. Although theologically the Catholic understanding of cremation has developed more in the past decades.

Orthodox Judaism disapproves of cremation since it will prevent the body from being resurrected at the End of Days. Liberal forms of Judaism may permit cremation but still prefer physical burial because of the traditional nature of it.

Traditional Chinese religion/Confucianism sees cremation as unfilial, and therefore to be avoided. However the Communist party in China now enforces cremation on all of its Han citizens (with the exception of the Hui people in the west, because of their Islamic faith).

Zoroastrians (or Parsees) traditionally forbid cremation as well, however this belief is slowly being broken down and more people are choosing to be cremated rather than be disposed of in the traditional "tower of silence."
