| | Catholic Funeral Rites |
 | | For centuries cremation was expressly forbidden in the Church because of the belief that the body is the temple of the Holy Sprit, as well as the belief in the resurrection of the body. | | | This is the reverent disposition of the cremated remains that the Church requires. | | | Cremation was seen as a pagan practice that denied the doctrine of the Resurrection |

| | Cremation |
| | The practices of scattering cremated remains on the sea, from the air, or on the ground or keeping cremated remains in the home of a relative or friend of the deceased are not the reverent disposition that the Church requires. | | | The Church recommends burial or inurnment of cremated remains as a mark of respect for the human body which was a temple of the Holy Spirit, was nourished at the Eucharistic Table and will share in the Resurrection. | | | According to current Archdiocesan Guidelines, the priest, whose responsibility it is to perform the funeral, must determine that the reasons for choosing cremation are within those recognized by the Church. |

| | ICFA: Cremation Questions |
| | Cremation is performed by placing the deceased in a casket or other container and then placing the casket or container into a cremation chamber or retort, where they are subjected to intense heat and flame. | | | Some religions prefer cremation; some do not recommend the practice; most permit you to choose. | | | Providing a permanent resting place for the deceased is a dignified treatment for a loved one's mortal remains, which fulfills the natural human desire for memorialization. |

| | The practice of scattering cremated remains on the sea, from the air, or on the ground, or keeping cremated remains in the home of a relative or friend of the deceased are not the reverent disposition that the Church requires. | | | In the 19th century, cremation again arose in Europe due greatly to the Freemasonry movement and the rationalist philosophy which denied any notion of the supernatural or spiritual, particularly the immortality of the soul, the afterlife, and the resurrection of the body. | | | Nevertheless, largely motivated by the affront to the Catholic Faith posed by cremation, the Church officially condemned the practice in 1886. |

| | CREMATION What Does God Think? |
| | While I strongly believe cremation is contrary to Scripture and is therefore not something a Christian should do, the most important question is whether or not the deceased had trusted Jesus Christ as his or her Savior, whether or not that one had been born again. | | | The article noted that the rising acceptance of cremation has coincided with a drop in "religious barriers to cremation." It is interesting that this secular newspaper noticed the connection between religion and cremation. | | | This is cremation as has been practiced by heathen religions for centuries, but without the sanitization adopted in more technically advanced areas. |

| | This rigid adherence to the principles of the early teaching of the Church may be seen in the later decrees of the Roman Congregations. | | | The Christians never burned their dead, but followed from earliest days the practice of the Semitic race and the personal example of their Divine Founder. | | | The Babylonians, according to Herodotus, embalmed their dead, and the Persians punished capitally such as attempted cremation, special regulations being followed in the purification of fire so desecrated. |

| | Cremation: Namboothiris believe in cremating the dead body, which should be done as early as possible after death. | | | Thus, for Aaswalaayanans the eldest son recites Manthrams, some of which are his own requests, while some others are on behalf of the inner soul and the dead body. | | | A Namboothiri usually has to perform all the above rituals for his father, mother, grandparents, bachelor or married uncles (brothers of father) having no sons in the same caste, person who was his Aachaaryan during his Upanayanam, etc. |

| | Cremation |
| | Response: while it is true that cremation is less expensive than burial as long as the ashes are scattered or cared for privately, and not preserved in a building or vault, even so, this argument by itself is insufficient to justify choosing cremation. | | | Therefore, also for this reason, cremation is not to be rejected in principle’ (Theologiese etiek 2/1:329). | | | The aesthetic argument insists that cremation is preferable to the unaesthetic process of decay and decomposition associated with burial. |
