Many Americans have accepted cremation as a mainstream way of disposing of a body instead of burial which is extremely expensive (around $5000). It is said that in next few years 35% of Americans would choose cremation over burial. Cremation costs half the costs compared to burial.
Most Christians believe in resurrection of a human body, how do they find cremation acceptable because of concerns about the status of a body at resurrection, which they believe will occur.
From the book 'Intercession in the Light of the Qur'an and Sunnah' by Ukasha Al-Tayyibi, Hadiths are mentioned about the people who burn themself when they die and scatter their ashes in the sea, river or in the air. On the Day of Ressurection, they rise like that (as ashes) and will be made to answer why they did that.
Like, the martyrs will rise while bleeding profusely.
(I can't remember the source for the Martyr's claim, if anyone does, please show display it here. Shukriya).

What is wrong with cremation? All religions with Hinduism as a base have cremation ( Hinduism, Sikhism, Buddhism, Jainism).
What does Koran say when you cremate? Go to hell? What about people like Parsis who let vultures devour the dead body.
In some places here in Oregon and Washington nearly 60% cremate their dead,
People carry out these sort of practices when they ignore God's word. And Allah Almighty doesn't liked to be ignored.
If they enjoy being fried, God has a special place for them.
There are 7 layers of hell. Two for the Muslims, One for the Jews, One for the Christians, the others are for Disbelivers, Polytheists (Idol worshippers) and Satans.

Prophet Muhammed (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) was shown by the angels what happens to the people of Hell. There's alot recorded in the Hadiths.
