"Y'varekh'kha Adonai v’yishmerekha.
Ya'er Adonai panav eleikha vichunekka.
Yissa Adonai panav eleikha v'yasem l'kha shalom."

[May Adonai bless you and keep you.
May Adonai make HIS Face shine on you and show you HIS Favor.
May Adonai lift up HIS Face toward you and give you peace.]

~ B'Midbar [Numbers] 6:24-26 CJB

May HIS Favor be upon you to a thousand generations 
Your family and your children
Your generations after you…

May HIS Presence go before you
Beside you and behind you
All around you and within you…

HE is with you
In the morning
In the evening
In your going and your coming
In your weeping and rejoicing
HE is for you
HE is for us, HE is with us
HE is for you…

Amen and Shalom

Is cremation okay?

http://holybible.org/pdfs/cremation.pdf From what scripture says, it is written that when Yah is telling Adam that he will die, Yah says this: Gen 2:7 And Yahuah Elohiym formed the man of the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and the man became a living soul.
And then later when Adam and Chuah sinned, this is what Yah said.
Gen 3:19 In the sweat of your face shall you eat bread, till you return unto the ground; for out of it were you taken: for dust you are, and unto dust shall you return.
While this passage does seem to refer to cremation (Gen 18:27 And Avraham answered and said, Behold now, I have taken upon me to speak unto Adonai, which am but dust and ashes: ) at first glance, dust and ashes are considered to be speaking about cremation, but understanding what the culture did in those times is most vital to talking about why Abraham would say he is dust and ashes. It is considered to make one lowly. When they were grieved, they would rent their clothes and put on dust and ashes which showed their lowly station and humbleness. Abraham was talking with Yah about the possibility of saving Sodom each time taking the number lower until he asked about if there were 10 righteous men alive. As far as incense is concerned, this was aromatic herbs that were burned also our prayers. Cremation gained traction during the time of the black plague because they wanted to stop the spread of disease from spreading. However, the fact that this, regardless of what your argument is, still originated as something pagan. Deu 12:30 Take heed to yourself that you be not snared by following them, after that they be destroyed from before you; and that you inquire not after their elohiym, saying, How did these nations serve their elohiym? Even so will I do likewise.
Deu 12:31 You shall not do so unto Yahuah Elohayka: for every abomination to Yahuah, which he hates, have they done unto their elohiym; for even their sons and their daughters they have burnt in the fire to their elohiym.
