Jewish belief certainly requires this.
Corpses must be dealt with. A corpse is a perfect breeding ground for all sorts of nasty bugs and health problems for the living. Even Homo Neanderthalis knew this and so dealt with their corpses in a manner consistent with their understanding of reality.
Your mortal remains are food. You are not specially created, you are food. Ergo, you must be burned or buried deep enough to prevent critters from digging you up and feasting.
Your living, mortal body is thick with microorganisms which owe absolutely no loyalty to the host. They will consume you at death because you are a rich food supply.
There are perhaps 10 trillion cells within your living body. Ninety percent of that figure are non-human DNA. You are host to untold legions of parasitical or symbiotic organisms.
Mites on your skin. Microbes on your eyeballs. Gut bacteria which greatly aid your digestion at the small cost of a calorie or two for themselves.
You are not a child of some god. You are food.
