I cannot find any verses stating that we are forbidden to cremate dead bodies. I don't know why you think the church has more authority than YHWH.

Why are you so obtuse?

I never said we were forbidden to cremate. Never. Ever.

It's somehow ok if the animal does it but not okay if family does it?

You don't believe humans are supposed to behave differently than animals?

That's funny Dave, I thought it was you that was being obtuse!

Last I looked there were no commandments forbidding scattering of remains either, but I'll look again, if it will make you happy.

Yes, I do. Animals use instinct, but we can reason and rationalize and realize that it doesn't matter if the human remains are scattered, because the spirit leaves the body at death.
