LITURGICAL REFLECTION……In the face of death, the Church confidently proclaims that God has created each person for eternal life and that Jesus, crucified and risen Lord, has broken the chains of sin and death that bound humanity. At the death of a Christian, whose life was begun in the waters of baptism and strengthened at the Eucharistic table, the Church intercedes on behalf of the deceased because of its confident belief that death is not the end nor does it break the bonds forged in life. The human body is to be treated with the utmost respect throughout the funerary rites. Ultimately, the body or cremated remains are to be placed in a grave, that is, a cemetery or mausoleum.
Order of Christian Funerals, Cremation, 1998, General Introduction, Numbers 1 and 4. Diocese of Altoona-Johnstown, Liturgy Office, 925 South Logan Boulevard, Hollidaysburg, Pennsylvania 16648. |
