I did say "Working from there, burial seems more appropriate."

It's not about what God can or cannot do, it's about treating the body with the honor due as a member of the Body of Christ. Someone who is burned to death does not die at a disadvantage at the last judgement.

> Intact burials are a tradition (which is totally fine), but not a commandment.

Correct. I see your point, but lean towards tradition in cases of questions.

Is cremation not being respectful? Burning something to retire it can IMO be very respectful.
