Are there any cremations recorded in the bible?

Didge Doo answered

Sure. All the bad people get cremated in Hell.

Personally, I'd love to have one of those Viking funerals where they set me adrift on the Nepean River in an old wooden boat and set fire to it. It'll never happen, of course: The environmentalists would go berserk.

Cremation was widely practiced by the Babylonians, Greeks, and Romans, it was rare among the Jews. The corpses of Saul and his sons were burned; the bones, however, were buried. (1 Samuel 31:8-13)
