Sorry, but I fully disagree with this. Too much emphasis is placed on our current temporal physical body. When our current body dies, it will return to the "dust from where it came", meaning it reverts to the physical elements (e.g. carbon) it was made out of. We can even see this. To say that cremating this body is disrespecting it is a bit much. While we are in it, it is a "temple". Our spirit is what makes it "holy" (through Christ) now. But once we leave it (when we die - and death means separation), there is no longer anything "holy" inside it. It is merely "dust".
