Jews(and muzzies) are resurrectionists, after a fashion. They believe that they need their body for the time of their messiah.
They have no history of fire funerals etc
You can also see it, prior to christianity spreading, in europe with fire burials being much more common in rome, greece, scandinavia and the empire of rus. After conversion almost all burnings stop, execpt for heretics and so on
you don't use the old body in the Resurrection, (if you are believer) you shall obtain a new purified body.
the main reason for us Christians not cremating people for most of our history is that it was considered disrespectful to the body, considered to be a symbol deceleration of the denial of the Resurrection, and also the fact that the heathens did it made it look bad.
