Can you explain further how cremation contradicts the law of God?

Thanks, ‘Pod.

“Can you explain further how cremation contradicts the law of God?”

I did my best to find scripture prohibiting cremation before originally asking that, could only find something externally explanatory to the effect that Saul and his sons had been cremated because the Philistines had defiled their bodies. I also remember that the Israelites burned the bodies of defeated peoples in Canaan.

I cannot agree that God prohibits cremation. I’m willing to believe it if anyone can provide a scriptural reference other than “Christian teachings”.
