The Bible doesn't specify or require a specific type of burial, but only that the dead body be treated with dignity. In ancient Israel, burial was their tradition, but the Bible doesn't command or require burial. You say that some believe cremation defiles the body, but that's not a point the Bible makes. This is one of those decisions that is left up to an individual to make a decision they and their family are comfortable with.
