My parish priest announced that people should not ask him to preside over cremations because he won't do it.

The Catholic Church is against cremation, I don't know about any protestant objections to the practice, although I feel sure some denominations are against it. The Bible doesn't mention it as far as I know.

The Priest does not have a choice. since the Church permits it. Contact your Bishop and have him straighten out this rogue.

The Catholic Church is against cremation,

Only if you are dong it to deny the Resurrection
