Adrian Freer helps us think through the matter of whether Christians should be buried or cremated, although at the outset he states: ‘I have become convinced that burial is the correct option for believers.’
Being made in the image of God, bodies are to be treated with dignity and respect and the writer outlines accounts of burial in the Bible leading to the burial of Jesus and the illustration of the resurrection.
