1 | Is cremation right for believers? | Bible general Archive 2 | Emmaus | 110162 | ||
Ken John, You may appreciate two articles at links below. The first was written in 1911 for the Catholic Encyclopedia and the second in 1998 as an instruction on liturgical norms for Christian funerals and burial. Scripture itself does not anywhere forbid cremation, but tradition, both Jewish and Christian generally avoided it for reasons made clear in the first artcle. Burial vs. cremation is not an article of Dogma, but rather a discipline based on ancient traditonal practices. I hope they are of some help to you. Others may have other information and i look forward to their input also. http://www.newadvent.org/cathen/04481c.htm http://www.ewtn.com/library/CURIA/CDWCREMA.HTM Emmaus |

Thanks Emmaus, I appreciate your help and will study the websites you have given me. Cremation versus burial is something that has troubled me ever since been informed that cremation is not right for Christians. However,EdB has really given me encouragement. Have you read his reply, it's a good one. KJ |
