I believe this is what drew my mother-in-law into the JW's. Her mom was a Baptist and would always say that she did not want to be cremated at her death. When asked why, she would respond by saying that she did not want to burn twice. While I cannot say for certain, I do know that when my wife and I were at the KH with her mom and dad, the brother giving the WT study asked what people in. My mom-in-law answered and stated that the non-belief in hell-fire was so comforting for her.
