Hinduism is one religion where cremation is more important than burial, and they believe that cremation encourages the soul to leave the body and move toward reincarnation. However, that's not to say that they practice mass cremation. A mass cremation is only really considered in times of mass death, like after a natural disaster or pandemic.
