The Sin of Cremation: What Does the Bible Say?

My husband texted me: ‘I just inherited millions of dollars! Pack your things and get out of my house!’ When I came home, the divorce papers were already on the table. I calmly signed my name and said: ‘Good luck, but you forgot one thing…’ He and his mistress looked at each other and smiled smugly. A few months later, I was enjoying my new life, while he regretted it and started looking for me.

At my mother’s graveside, a retired federal judge slipped a card into my hand and told me to call Seattle. I thought my mother had died with a modest Portland house, an old Subaru, and eleven thousand dollars in savings. By the next afternoon, I was sitting across from a man with paperwork that made my brother hear the number nine million and forget, all over again, what kind of woman had raised us.

“Arrest her,” my mother-in-law said at the military ball, loud enough for the people nearest us to hear, staring at my dress whites like I had put on someone else’s life by mistake—and the worst part was, after seven years of marriage, she still thought she knew exactly who I was.

I sold our three houses to save my husband’s life.
