Funerals are usually for the benefit of the living....
My mom wanted to be cremated and i convinced her not to.
Back in 1995 when she passed, i thoight the Church was against cremation.
I read recently that now one can also dispose of a body w water ( special chemicals) and that, might seem gentler than fire.
We have not discussed this topic.
My hubby is Jewish and I am Catholc.
It is necessary but oh so unpleasant....i am still undecided but i do know i want a Catholic Mass
