I am Jewish, and we do not believe in cremation. My best friend is Muslim, and they do not cremate either. By the way, the term for someone who is Jewish is a Jew, not Jewish as you stated in your question happy

No muslims dont cremate bodies... I dont believe jews do either...

Apart from indians (probably hindus, although I dont know this for sure) and now some people in the western countries, I dont think its really a tradition among any other group...
