Funeral outrage at too-small grave

Curiousity Question. In TX, the Catholic cemeteries, of which I’m aware are perpetual care. In Texas, if a cemetery is a perpetual care cemetery, the banking commission regulations will require an outer burial container. It is a regulatory requirement, if the cemetery is perpetual care.

So, the grave liner/lower part of the vault is already in the ground before the casket is lowered, and of course is designed to accomodate a casket...Is this not the case in PA? No grave liners or vaults required?

"Trolling? Nah. Just type the word "Catholic" into Google News and it is hit number 7 on the first page of results. Not exactly trolling, by any definition. (It's just below articles on the New Mass, Priests taking money from the offering tray and Catholic Priests sodomizing children."

Amazing!

I just went to a google browser. I just went to look Catholic up. This was customized automatically.

It did not show what you stated. It knows your History.

You have to hunt that info.

You ever wonder why a national company(Home Depot as example) shows addresses in your area or state than the other states. It knows you and your habits.

The grave had a vault. That was the problem. The casket would not fit into the vault. So the workers were jumping up and down on the casket to force it into the vault. They used pry bars to try to force it. The cemetery assn has taken the position that they may have been jumping on the vault lid.

The family are devout Catholics; this is not some anti-catholic crusade. They were traumatized by the callousness of these workers (who as far as I am aware were not mexicans) who tried to force the casket.

At least they didn’t fire it up and tap the casket with the back of the bucket.

Just wait until cemeteries start running out of room and folding the bodies into caskets cut in half........

Thanks for answering my question. Of course, that just raises more questions..defective vault, wood casket humidity problem, casket not lined up just so as it was being lowered? I am sure it was stressful for the family to see.

Agreed. I live in Gallipolis, Ohio (pronounced Galuhpolice for anyone who cares) which is on the OH/WV border. As a matter of fact, I can turn to my right while typing and see West Virginia across the road (and the barges going by when the river’s high enough). Anyway, about the only Mexican people I have seen are at our Catholic parish, and it is a miniscule proportion of the registered families at our church. The family of one of my 4th grade son’s classmates owns the only Mexican restaurant in town (and yes, it’s good).

I am at work right now, have never signed into my Google account form here, have never searched for ANYTHING that I would post from the Internet to FR. Have never started a FR thread from work. In fact I have, until today, never posted on FR from work.

And yet when I Google "Catholic," for the very first time from work, the above article is in the top 10 hits.

I suspect if the Catholic Church would stop acting like it does these articles would not come up in the first few hits when one Googles the word "Catholic."

BTW, I have NEVER Googled the term Anti-catholic. No trolling here, the Catholic Church provides plenty of self condemning information all on it's own.

Hi Gamecock-Well all I have to say is you are very consistent with the word Catholic when you post something. You always lean toward the negative. Never mind that the Church helps people to be clothed and feed. That the media plays up to the controversy of the rare few which is horrendous.

I would not of checked it out. But On your post 7 you declared at the end to just google Catholic. Last night I did. I did not find what you declared. But to be fair I just googled it. The abuse came up on the bottom. Just to be fair. But for you to declare you are not looking for it. According to your history that does not always add up. Thats all.
