Cremation

If our bodies and our spirits are to be reunited after the resurrection, then how does that work for people who have been cremated or burned?

Cremation

I am not sure I understand your question since when the body is buried it disolves to the dust. Cremation causes the body to be turned to ashes, but in both cases the body will need to receive the ordinance of ressurection in any case.

I just add that some people are burned completely in fires and car accidents at no fault of their own, and they too will be resurrected. So I believe that it is strictly a personal decision.

Cremation

On the same note if your an amputee when your resurrected you will no longer be an amputee. Even if the "leg" never existed you will still have one in the afterlife. If there was never a leg than how will you have one later. The same goes with cremation, its just instead of the leg its the whole body. Could it be a DNA thing, I don't presume to know but I do know that not one hair on our head will be lost (and I'm going bald).
