About this episode
“Although it is true that the eternal state of one’s soul is of utmost importance, and one’s dead, decayed body will ultimately not really matter since there has been promised a new body at the resurrection, Scripture still reveals a clear respect for the bodies of the dead. Bodies, alive or dead, have been created by God, for His glory, and in His image.” In "Cremation versus Burial: Why it Matters", Samantha Bender argues that burying the dead, rather than burning their bodies is a valuable way to show respect.
