Cremation & Catholic Belief
For those choosing cremation, the Church continues to affirm the dignity of the human body. In death, the body remains a symbol of the goodness of creation and the truths of our faith.
We are called to look upon our deceased with "Immortality."
We also take comfort in the fact that nothing is beyond God's power to resurrect when the hour has come.
