Can I be cremated? Is it okay to donate my body to science? What about the relics of Saints, they aren't buried in the ground?
Last week, Fr. Mike began our discussion on death and burial, especially when it comes to the Catholic Church's teaching on "scattering your ashes." Today, he answers some of the most common questions from the comments of that video and delves deeper into why we should listen to our Mother, the Church, when she is instructing and guiding us in these matters.

When my son died suddenly, we had him cremated and interned in a niche in a cemetery that was blessed by the church. We had a memorial mass first but we wanted him to have a stone with his name and date of birth so the world would know he lived and loved and is loved. Then we moved and we moved his ashes with us . He is still part of our family. We visit the cemetery for every holiday birthday and family event. His sister and her husband often visit it’s him and our granddaughter and her fiancée also stop by the cemetery and are planning to have a PowerPoint presentation of him at their wedding. I know he knows how much we love him, how much we miss him and that we respect how much being a Catholic meant to him.

Back in about 1992, I was reading our Catholic newspaper and said to my husband,"listen to this, it says now it's Ok to get cremated,but you can't bring the ashes in Church"My 4 yr. old grandson looked up from his coloring and said, "Oh yes you can grandma, 'cause that's where I got mine"

So glad you got this burden lifted from your mind. I have been catholic since 1978 and have lost 3 of my family members.Only one out of the three were catholic and 2 of them were cremated and the other was buried in the same cemetary that I will be buried with a full funeral(that was my husband). My daughter and her son were both cremated and we have spread their ashes where they requested. My daughter was raised Catholic but her son was not. Does that mean she is in Heaven now but her son is not? That would be so sad to think they are not in Heaven together. They were so very close.

Everyone please know WE are all spiritual beings. One with God. As spirit we can never ever ever be separate from God. Whether you are buried, cremated, ashes spread , put into a necklace, blown up, dissolved, separated into a thousand pieces, it makes absolutely no difference. Immediately at death your spirit (you) leaves the body. The body was simply a vehicle for a short time. It's like an old car , finished and ready to be thrown away now. YOU ( spirit, soul, consciousness) are eternal and safe. Any teaching that creates fear that you could ever be separate from God is a false belief based on fear. God is love , there is no fear in God. God never delivers fear...only love. So forget all this talk of making a mistake and know you are unconditionally loved and eternally safe. Then you can live with joy...forever. Peace to all.

You are endangering people's eternity with this talk. Your choice not to agree with it, but as you haven't died and experienced what happens when body and soul are reunited, you have absolutely NO EXPERTISE to speak on this and direct people away from what their faith dictates is the correct way to handle it. I think you need to be more respectful of others's faith.

It is important to talk about death with your loved one. My husband and I talked frequently as to what our wishes were. It was a good thing because he died unexpectedly this pass June. He wanted to be cremated but we still had a viewing. We also talked about where he wanted to be buried and at the last minute he decided he wanted to be buried in the ground next to me. This discussion took place about 3 weeks before he died. Glad we had the talk

Smartest thing I did with an inheritance from my mother was to pre-pay two funeral plans for me and my spouse just before Corvid rocketed us into the new normal. At the same time I went online and purchased two matching urns, with little vaults for burying them in spaces we purchased in the Churchyard of the country Church where we had been married. The children and grandchildren know our burial plans. In this terrible inflation, they will not be burdened with the costs of burying us. I recommend anyone who is over 60 and can afford to, pre-pay your cremation/ funeral now, and tell your pastor what readings and hymns you want, so the grandkids don't choose something "modern and tasteless." And BTW, I specified that everybody wear black to concentrate the mind on the fact of death and the necessity of praying for the souls of the departed. One year afterward, if they like, and AFTER the "Year's mind Mass", they can throw a party to "celebrate" our lives.

Under the last video, there were way too many people who completely misunderstood your point, Fr. Mike. I actually read some of the comments before I watched the video, and when I finally did, I was surprised that you didn't say at all what so many people were accusing you of, like for example that people whose ashes were scattered won't end up in heaven. I honestly think it's because from what I can see (I'm not American), the American culture is so heavily influenced by Protestantism, that the Sola Scriptura principle is applied to everything religious, not just the Bible, which means that everything has to be taken literally and absolutely, with no room for nuance at all. Btw, I noticed that you tried to speak slower in this video, probably because of all the comments that accused you of speaking too fast. I have no problem with your fast way of speaking. I actually like it. It's part of your character and what makes you so charming, so you shouldn't be ashamed of it. :) God bless you, Fr. Mike! Edit: I love that you had the courage to call out the "my way" attitude so many people responded with. It's a disease that plagues modern Christians (including myself) and many don't even realize how fundamentally satanic it is.

My husband wanted to be cremated after planning his father's funeral. He was horrified by the cost. When he passed 6 years ago I honored his wishes. He was not Catholic. I am. I have planned my funeral, doing a pre paid plan. I spoke to my parish priest about my funeral before I when to the funeral home to do the pre paid plan to be sure I was not choosing something The Church would disapprove. I chose what hymns I wished sung and who I preferred to be the cantor. I will have a regular visitation with the rosary the evening before my funeral Mass. I will have a rented coffin. After my funeral Mass I will be cremated and both my husband and I will be interred at the same time together.

Thanks, Fr. Mike! I have decided to have a natural burial...no embalming. There are funeral homes that will do this now here in Florida, and cemeteries that allow it. The body is cleaned and kept very cold until the time of burial and then wrapped in a cloth of natural fibers such as cotton or linen (as our Lord's Body was before He was laid in the tomb). You can be buried only in the shroud, or be placed in a casket woven of grasses, sort of like a wicker basket. I'd like to be buried facing east as the early Christians did (and many do today). Embalming fluid is so unnaturally harsh, and I don't want it in my body. It also seeps out into the ground causing problems for the environment.

My husband and I lost both of his parents last year, and we had both of their bodies cremated. While we are Protestant and not Catholic, we do plan to bury both of his parents’ ashes in the future. Losing both of them was an insanely horrific financial blow to us. We could barely afford their cremations, and right now our priority is to get back on our feet financially. When we are ready, we will definitely bury them. Until then, we plan to keep their ashes with us and protected.

He has already paid to be cremated through the Neptune Society, who will also FAX the necessary papers to the cemetery.

You're in a wooden/metal box that is highly resistant to decomposition. Your body is dehydrated and mummified with embalming fluid. Which is highly toxic to living organisms. I don't think worms could get to you in modern burial practices. Even if they did, i doubt they'd be interested in eating you. You'd dehydrated and decompose extremely slowly.

Thank you Fr. Mike! This is a never-ending evolving topic which leads to many places. My question/comment is regarding organ donation. You need to be declared “brain dead” to harvest organs which means they need to keep you “alive”. Is this not a major desecration? The term ”brain dead” was manufactured specifically for organ donation. Donating your second kidney, for example, while you are in good health and can still live while giving life to another is a great gift. The term ”brain death” is a very foggy grey and leaves a lot of room for…….. “grave” manipulation. 🤨 God Bless You and keep you. Linda FEHR

I am so grateful for the education that Ascension presents and Father Mike have offered me as a convert. I was so ill educated as a Christian and then as a Catholic that even though I had a desire to learn these things like my understanding of body and soul/human nature, I just did not know these basic concepts of my own faith. I had long believed that the body little mattered. It was just the vehicle my soul was driving around this life. I therefore fell into wrong thinking, did it even matter then who I loved or how I loved in the earthly sense? I fell into thinking I don't care if I take great care of my body as long as my soul was okay? I thought things like I can hardly wait to kick off this mortal coil and be free of my body and just be a spirit in the next reality. I can't tell you the number of Christians I meet that think exactly like that, heck even Catholics. Only when I applied the reason, logic and foundational and consistent principles of the Catholic faith and did I begin to undestand the theology of respect for my body, our bodies is a part of God's divine plan, the construction and purpose of our physical life and how we relate to each other, recognize our own worth and the worth and dignity of others. I only wish I had been educated in Catholic theology all along. A clasical Catholic education would have helped me avoid many mistakes, wrong thinking and thus errors that have not been good for me. Thank you for your effort to educate people on the consistent and great good of Catholic reasoning. I pray people hear this.

Time will alter things. After 2 or 3 years you can bring up the subject. Rethink burying ashes at a homestead.

Just make sure it's officially recognised by the county where it is.

I spoke to 2 of the priest at my church to calm my heart about it. My faith is very strong and raised in a very Catholic home. I guess I am still upset that I had to cremate him. I planned and we had a beautiful Mass for him. Father Rick blessed his ashes. It hurts so much he is on the shelf in my home. I am saving up the money to have him buried with our parents. I will have a priest come to be there when he is layed to rest with them. I visit parents all the time and bring flowers. I am doing my best. At writing this I am crying.. Part because, like I said upset at cremation and the other part is that I loved him so very much that to do right by him and with God was so very important to me.. I guess I am still having trouble with it.. Thank you for your videos! My non-Catholic friends are getting answers to questions they ask me all the time.. They seem to listen to you more.

What you could do is check in with your local church if they can help you and most people in Church communities are helpful But do not worry yourself and be sad as I am sure your dear brother would not want you to be upset We pray for you and and your departed brother Rest in Peace 🙏🙏

With the cost of burial today, some have no Choice but to cremate. 😢

If a body is found on the street can we pray for their soul? Cause I found a person who killed himself, and I just prayed for his soul but I didn’t inform anyone cause it was 1st shocking view. 💔 But I know what to do next time.

I am so sorry you had to go through that! It must have been so hard, I can't even imagine. Yes, of course you can pray for them, and I will be praying for you and that person as well!!

I think you can pray for them it only becomes a problem when you pray TO them.

It is most important that they be prayed for. Even if you didn't know their name, you can go to a priest and request a Requiem Mass for their soul. This is a great act of spiritual charity, and God will reward you for it. You can still do it now, as there is no "time" in eternity, and the graces of the Masses will still benefit that soul, and get him out of Purgatory if he needs that. If you yourself can attend that Mass, there will be healing of memories for you also; perhaps God intended you to find that person's body so that you (rather than another) would care for them spiritually with prayer. There are no "coincidences", but that a greater blessing will come if you look for God's will in the circumstances.

My mothers very devoted catholic and loved Jesus, passed and asked me to cremate her body and distribute her ashes in the forest. I felt so sad because I could not give her a proper funeral at that moment, and I had to cremate her with no other choice. I did not distribute her ashes as she asked but I will give her a proper funeral. Thanks father Mike for explaining and clear my hard time doing what I had to do at that time. God Bless You 🙏

Both my parents were Presbyterian and I am Catholic. They were cremated and their ashes scattered at the same beach. God forgive me.

Thank you for the clarity! I feel much better about how I want my body to be treated when I die.

My parents died many years ago and were cremated. I have their ashes. My sincere desire when I die is to be cremated and have my ashes mixed with my parents. There seem to be some legal issues with this, unless they are buried on private property, which is not ideal either. I’m praying for a solution.

I listened to you talk about cremation and scattering ashes ,my husband passed 3 yrs ago I still have his ashes however he wanted them scattered. I didn't know as catholics we aren't suppose to. My question is if I scatter them per his wishes am I committing a sin?. Love your sight I'm learning alot and have been catholic all my life.

This is kind of a sore subject for me, because my mom was cremated. I really did not want it to happen. But I did not have much control as my brother had power of attorney not me. It is just the thought of what happened that makes me sad. Of course, I realize her body would have disintegrated over time, but still can’t help but be sad about it.

I know! I can't imagine even myself being cremated. It seems so violent. But many have to because of expense or limited burial ground. We have no Catholic cemetery in our town just a new parish mausoleum...for cremation!... and it's very, very small!

Maybe that’s what she wanted. Everyone’s different I guess. There are some people that find burial unpleasant too. Is there a third way ?!

Yes, there’s now “aquamation.” Bishop Desmond Tutu had that when he died, as a matter of interest.
