my first wife has both of her parents ashes in urn’s on her hutch, and the cats are in a box, my father was scattered at sea, my mother is at my house waiting for my brother to make up his mind on what to do

As claustrophobic as I am I still plan on a traditional Catholic Mass and burial, no cremation. Hubby plans the same except he wants a fart machine hooked up to the kneeler in front of the casket. (More for his side of the family) I keep telling him it would do no good, none of them would kneel down to pray.

[hiho hiho]

Cremation does not sound as bad as the embalming process (perforated, blood put down the sewer, filled with toxic chemicals), being dressed up and made-up to look not dead, then put on display. That all sounds barbaric to me.

I think just being quickly put in the ground in a wooden box is not legal.

Jewelry? Holy moly!

Have to admit, though, that I LOL’d at Msgr.’s imagined dialogue:

“Hey, that’s pretty new jewelry! Was that your Mom’s?” “Well, actually it is Mom!”

This sort of abuse is why cremation should not be condoned. Similarly, receiving communion in the hand encourages the possibilty of abuse

The ghoulishness and bad taste are surpassed only by the shock of how suddenly such bizarre practices have been introduced. One can imagine the following awful dialogue: “Hey, that’s pretty new jewelry! Was that your Mom’s?” “Well, actually it is Mom!” Double yikes!

This person never heard of mourning jewelry? It used to be quite popular. Yes, even in Roman Catholic countries.
