Human ashes? = “stuff”, not important.
Human ashes = Idol worship.
“Life” that counts is in the Spirit. You have this life to determine where the spirit goes.
Either Jesus Christ is your Lord and Savior or he’s not.
It’s sort of like “Natural Born Citizen” status.
It’s your status at the time of your birth.
Salvation is your status with Jesus at the time of your death.

We adore God; we respect the image and likeness of God.
"Respect" is not the same as "idol worship."
