The question was not whether doctors could have legitimate religious
objections to cremation for themselves, but whether such religious
beliefs would prevent them from signing cremation certificates for
others who did not share those beliefs.
Is there anyone on the list who knows whether, in the case of cremation,
personally held religious beliefs would include a belief that the very
act of assisting a non-believer to be cremated is itself a sin? I have
never come across this being discussed as a matter of conscientious
objection - but the GMC appear to think it is.
