Kaddish for the Cremated Deceased

לֹא־תָלִ֨ין נִבְלָת֜וֹ עַל־הָעֵ֗ץ כִּֽי־קָב֤וֹר תִּקְבְּרֶ֙נּוּ֙ בַּיּ֣וֹם הַה֔וּא כִּֽי־קִלְלַ֥ת אֱלֹהִ֖ים תָּל֑וּי וְלֹ֤א תְטַמֵּא֙ אֶת־אַדְמָ֣תְךָ֔ אֲשֶׁר֙ יְהֹוָ֣ה אֱלֹהֶ֔יךָ נֹתֵ֥ן לְךָ֖ נַחֲלָֽה׃ {ס}

you must not let the corpse remain on the stake overnight, but must bury it the same day. For an impaled body is an affront to God: you shall not defile the land that the ETERNAL your God is giving you to possess.

כֹּ֚ה אָמַ֣ר יְהֹוָ֔ה עַל־שְׁלֹשָׁה֙ פִּשְׁעֵ֣י מוֹאָ֔ב וְעַל־אַרְבָּעָ֖ה לֹ֣א אֲשִׁיבֶ֑נּוּ עַל־שׇׂרְפ֛וֹ עַצְמ֥וֹת מֶלֶךְ־אֱד֖וֹם לַשִּֽׂיד׃

Thus said GOD: For three transgressions of Moab, For four, I will not revoke the decree: Because he burned the bones Of the king of Edom to lime.

תָּא שְׁמַע, רַבִּי נָתָן אוֹמֵר: סִימָן יָפֶה לַמֵּת שֶׁנִּפְרָעִין מִמֶּנּוּ לְאַחַר מִיתָה. מֵת שֶׁלֹּא נִסְפַּד וְלֹא נִקְבַּר, אוֹ שֶׁחַיָּה גּוֹרַרְתּוֹ, אוֹ שֶׁהָיוּ גְּשָׁמִים מְזַלְּפִין עַל מִטָּתוֹ – זֶהוּ סִימָן יָפֶה לַמֵּת. שְׁמַע מִינַּהּ: יְקָרָא דְשָׁכְבֵי הוּא. שְׁמַע מִינַּהּ.

The Gemara suggests: Come and hear a proof from a baraita: Rabbi Natan says: It is a good sign for the deceased when he is punished after his death and does not receive an honorable burial or eulogy, as his lack of honor brings him atonement for his sins. For example, if the deceased was not eulogized, or if he was not buried, or if a wild animal dragged his corpse, or if rain fell on his bier, this is a good sign for the deceased. Learn from the baraita that a eulogy is delivered for the honor of the dead, so that when he is deprived of this honor, he achieves atonement for his sins. The Gemara affirms: Learn from the baraita that this is so.

אֲבָל אִם צִוָּה שֶׁלֹּא יִקָּבֵר אֵין שׁוֹמְעִין לוֹ. שֶׁהַקְּבוּרָה מִצְוָה שֶׁנֶּאֱמַר (דברים כא כג) "כִּי קָבוֹר תִּקְבְּרֶנּוּ":

If the deceased directed that he not be eulogized, we do not eulogize him. If, however, he directed that he not be buried, we do not heed him, for burial is a mitzvah, as Deuteronomy 21:23 states: "And you shall certainly bury him."

לקבור בקרקע ואם קוברין שני מתים יחד. ובו ו' סעיפים: הנותן מתו בארון ולא קברו בקרקע עובר משום מלין את המת ואם נתנו בארון וקברו בקרקע אינו עובר עליו ומכל מקום יפה לקברו בקרקע ממש אפילו בח"ל:

One who places his dead in a coffin and did not bury it in the earth, transgresses thereby a [negative command] because he keeps the dead over night [unburied]. If he placed him in a coffin and buried it in the earth, he does not transgress [a negative command] on his account. Nevertheless, it is [more] appropriate to bury him in the earth proper even [when he is buried] outside the Land [of Israel].

י"א דמומר שנהרג ביד עובדי כוכבים בניו אומרים עליו קדיש (הרד"כ בית י"א ובב"ז) (וע"ל סימן ש"מ):

Some say that [in the case of] an apostate Jew who was murdered by heathens, [the law is that] his children recite Kaddish for him.

המאבד עצמו לדעת אין מתעסקים עמו לכל דבר ואין מתאבלין עליו ואין מספידין אותו ולא קורעין ולא חולצין אבל עומדין עליו בשורה ואומרים עליו ברכת אבלים וכל דבר שהוא כבוד לחיים:

One who commits suicide wilfully is not attended to at all; and one does not mourn for him and no lamentation is made for him, nor does one rend [garments] or bare [the shoulder in mourning for him], but one stands for him in the line [of comforters], and one recites over him the mourners' blessing, and whatever [brings] honour [only] to the living [may be done].
