10. Many orthodox in different religions frown on it, so generally in those cases, it is NEVER an option

for instance, many Jews do not believe in creamation either, due to the religion itself, and because of what Hitler did to the Jews in the gas chamber and the association with ovens.

When it comes to religion, one needs to remember there are many different religions practiced, and all have their own rules and regulations and some have different depending on what branch of religion they believed in. And some have no religion too.
