Finally a response
I know the Jewish faith does not believe in cremation, but Joan is Jewish and that is what happened. Apparently, she wasn't much into her faith. I think it is so awful

You need to keep in mind that, especially in the US, there are people who are Jewish by birth and there is where it stops. They go through the motions of a few holidays and that's about it .The Halachah is based on a short few words from the Torah in Deuteronomy 21:23.

his body shall not remain all night upon the tree, but thou shalt surely bury him the same day; for he that is hanged is a reproach unto God; that thou defile not thy land which the LORD thy God giveth thee for an inheritance.
It should be based upon the reason(s) or part of it due to the facts of what happened and how lives were lost~!
