===Baháʼí Faith=== The [[Baháʼí Faith]] forbids cremation. A letter written on behalf of Shoghi Effendi to a National Spiritual Assembly states, "He feels that, in view of what 'Abdu'l-Bahá has said against cremation, the believers should be strongly urged, as an act of faith, to make provisions against their remains being cremated. Bahá'u'lláh has laid down as a law, in the Aqdas, the manner of Baháʼí burial, and it is so beautiful, befitting and dignified, that no believer should deprive himself of it."<ref>he Research Department of the Universal House of Justice (2020) BAHÁ’Í BURIAL and Related Laws: Extracts from the Bahá'í Writings. Bahá’í Distribution Services. p.99 https://bahai-library.com/pdf/compilations/compilation_bahai_burial_laws.pdf </ref>
