  1. There is a policy about burning dead folk. It's discouraged. There is policy about how to deal with the disposal of garments, but burning is not problematic within the scope of said policy.

     

    There is no policy on cremation.

     

    From the LDS Church Handbook -

     

     21.3.2
    Cremation

    The Church does not normally encourage cremation. The family of the deceased must decide whether the body should be cremated, taking into account any laws governing burial or cremation. In some countries, the law requires cremation.

    Where possible, the body of a deceased member who has been endowed should be dressed in temple clothing when it is cremated. A funeral service may be held (see 18.6).

    It is discussed at length in Answers to Gospel Questions - Joseph Fielding Smith
