Cremation, as done to Sir Walter Loxley, was frowned upon by the church and therefore was forbidden in parts of medieval Europe (mostly those where the church had a strong influence, England being such a place) other than in the case of mass cremations for disease and as a punishment for heretics. The characters acknowledge this in a deleted scene: Walter tells Marian of his wishes to be be cremated. She responds by joking with him about being a good Christian, and if he doesn't stop with the subject she will tell on him for being a pagan.
