Cremation and the Soul: The Truth God Wants Your Heart to Know

Video Description

When a question lingers in the heart—especially one tied to grief, memory, and loss—it can feel heavy to carry alone. And one of the quiet questions many people hold inside is this: If someone is cremated, what truly happens to their soul? Today, I want to talk to you gently and honestly, because this isn’t theory—this is personal. It touches the people we’ve loved, the choices we’ve made, and the moments where we stood beside ashes wondering what comes next. Scripture gives us clarity and peace. In Second Corinthians chapter five, verse eight, it says that to be absent from the body is to be present with the Lord. That means the soul doesn’t wait in an urn, it doesn’t linger in dust, and it isn’t bound to what remains. The soul goes to God—fully received, fully known, fully held. And nothing done to the body can ever touch what He has redeemed. ==================== Chapters included for easy navigation: 00:00 - Cremation and the Soul 01:48 - The Moment the Body Dies: What Scripture Says About the Soul 03:56 - “Dust to Dust”: Understanding What Happens to the Body 06:30 - Does Cremation Affect the Soul?
