Since we believe in the resurrection of the body, we do not see a corpse as garbage. From the time of our earliest ancestors in the faith, we have buried our dead, committing them to the earth from which they came with the conviction that they will one day be summoned from it once more. The image of sleep is useful—not because the dead are unconscious but because they will one day be awakened. God deems as faith Joseph committing his bones to his brothers for future transport into the land of promise. In the same way the act of burial is a testimony of the entire community to the resurrection of the body. Cremation is a horrifying testimony of the burning up of the flesh and bones, a testimony that is decidedly pagan in both origin and in practice. Of course, God can resurrect a cremated Christian (or a Christian torn to pieces by lions, etc.), but how we deal with the body of a Christian teaches us - and the watching world - what we really believe about the gospel. Cremation ought then to be shunned by those who hope in Christ.

INSTRUCTIONS

glycerin food color
Use rubber spatula, blend first 3 ingredients on a plate to form a smooth
paste.  Add 3-4 drops of glycerin for creamy consistency. Any food coloring
can be added. (I used green. At that time my kid was "into" THE HULK)
For brown beards, or caveman styles, just add 2-1/2 tsp cocoa to the above
mixture.
My kids thought it was great....and this goes back many years, since my
youngest is now 18.  The only problem I encountered was that over time
(couple of hours) the heat from the faces, tended to make the solution
shiny and it started to melt.  But it is better than using regular make-up,
or spending money on store bought if you are short of funds.
