Why discourage cremation?

[_harmony]

What it comes down to is that church members like to visualize the body of their newly deceased rising up from the grave and being zapped with an energy beam from God, and cremation seems foreign and out of place because it destroys that visual. I like the idea of cremation because honestly, the thought of my body lingering on, rotting, and being eaten by worms is far less appealing than disintegrating it. Seems cleaner.

Worms need to eat too.

I liked it when Mormons used to sail their burning funeral boats out of the fjords on the Great Salt Lake.
