No. It's not jewish. Not inherently so.
Cremation was in use in Europe for thousands of years (before jews even existed) and most societies would more or less flip flop between their preferred method of body internment: cremation or burial. Whichever one was more popular varied.
It picked up traction among protestant countries in earnest in the 1800s because of the fact that cemeteries were overflowing with bodies and were a source of disease. Eventually the catholic church would permit it as well. The church that still does not permit cremation is the orthodox church. Why? Eastern Europe didn't have corpses overflowing their cemeteries because of lower population density. If an orthodox country had the same problem, someone would have probably canonized it in the orthodox church by this point.
Is it heretical? ...maybe, but I'm sure that God understood the plight of people not wanting to resort to having to throw their loved ones in rivers because they had no burial plots available (this happened. Especially with the river thames and the river seine).
But that's cremation in Europe. In america it never gained traction until very recently because America did not and still does not have a high population density, so there is plenty of land for burial. Cremation only became popular very recently because of growing atheism, which makes it a symptom of jewish atheism rather than something that the jews themselves brought purposefully.
I personally don't have much of a problem with cremation among Christians. There is no biblical passage explicitly forbidding cremation and the forbidding of it started as rebellion against the romans who, at the time, preferred cremation to burial. I would prefer to be interred, and that's the best option, but I don't view it as a biblical issue. Implying that God cannot resurrect an earthly body because it's cremated puts a cap on God's power and also calls into question people who die due to immolation or have their corpse burned after death against their wish.

i think cremation is more sanitary and space-efficient
you could also go the nature route, cremate to ashes, and use the ashes to plant a tree (an olive tree, a fig tree, whatever tickles your fancy)
i personally want my body to be consumed by the flame and its ashes reforged into a gem, embedded into the hilt of a sword
a sword that will be used to kill our biological enemies (niggers, kikes, muslims etc...) even in death i shall still serve my people
