What do the major religions say about cremations?

As a christian I think the Bible lays little priority on the methodology used in ridding one's self of a dead body. Jesus Christ even said the the dead should burial themselves luke 9:59-60. The same Bible also talks about our returning to the dust (ashes?)
The issue of cremation is taken seriously in some cultural/traditional climes but not religious(christianity as least)
