Cremation and Protestantism

Cremation is accepted by most Protestant denominations; however, what is considered to be a "Christian" funeral can vary widely. Since each denomination has its own beliefs what is acceptable and normal in one denomination, may not be acceptable in another. You may also find a wide range of what is considered "acceptable" even within the same denomination.

Most Protestant Denominations both endorse and encourage organ and tissue donation.
