בְּשָׁל֣וֹם תָּמ֗וּת וּֽכְמִשְׂרְפ֣וֹת אֲ֠בוֹתֶיךָ הַמְּלָכִ֨ים הָרִֽאשֹׁנִ֜ים אֲשֶׁר־הָי֣וּ לְפָנֶ֗יךָ כֵּ֚ן יִשְׂרְפוּ־לָ֔ךְ וְה֥וֹי אָד֖וֹן יִסְפְּדוּ־לָ֑ךְ כִּֽי־דָבָ֥ר אֲנִֽי־דִבַּ֖רְתִּי נְאֻם־יְהוָֽה׃ (ס)
Engkau akan mati dengan damai. Sebagaimana orang mengadakan pembakaran bagi nenek moyangmu, raja-raja terdahulu yang ada sebelum engkau, demikianlah mereka akan mengadakan pembakaran bagimu, dan mereka akan meratapimu: “Aduhai, tuan!” Sebab Akulah yang telah mengucapkan firman ini, demikianlah firman Yang Mahakekal.

This is superstitious or idolatrous. The Babli, 11a, accepts burning as practice only for kings and Patriarchs, not for commoners. is idolatrous; if there is not smoke and burning it is not idolatrous.
