Answer by Suminda Sirinath S. Dharmasena for Why do Buddhist's cremate instead of burying?

In historic times it was a practice to wrap the body in a cloth and throw it into the forest or designated grave ward. The clothes used to wrap the body was used to stitch robes. Also the pratice of doing cemetry contemplation was based on such disposed bodies.

Creation is a more cultural evolution than being Buddhist at least in the Theravada perspective.
