Question:
I am 70 years old…Thinking more now of mortality…Do you think that cremation is acceptable in the eyes of God?
Response:
In India, as you might know, cremation isn’t just acceptable, it is the norm. So I assume by asking me if God is okay with it, you are seeking additional assurance that cremation won’t disqualify you from the Christian Resurrection. I can’t help you on the Christian theological aspects of your question, but on the general sense of whether God is okay with cremation, I’m going to go out on a limb and say “yes.”
Love,
Deepak
