Judaism is vehemently
opposed to cremation of the
dead.
The Prophet Amos (Amos
2:1) condemns the Moabites
for having burned the body
of the King of Edom without
allowing him a proper bur-
ial. Nachmanides prac-
tically considered it to be a
curse, as if a Torah scroll
had been burned.
If a person is cremated as
a result of his own wish,
rabbinic law prohibits even
burying the ashes in a Jew-
ish .cemetery. Even-when a
deceased leaves a will or-
dering his cremation the
heirs are not allowed, to
carry out his wishes. Getier-
