If you are talking modern day then lots of Catholics get cremated and the church does not disapprove of this as long as the ashes are buried and not scattered. |

Karen, My mother was cremated, in accordance with what had gone on previously in her maternal family. The crematorium being in Nottingham. However, dad and myself, had her ashes put in an urn, and buried, with a little ceremony, in the ' Garden of Remembrance ' in our local cemetary. |

Very interesting. My mother was Catholic all her life. When she died in 2008 her priest first insisted her coffin should be brought to church for a service before being taken to the crematorium. I objected to that, as her friends and relatives were not Catholics and the church and crematorium were 10 miles apart, which would mean 20 extra miles of driving (by some elderly people and some who had already travelled 80 miles) to get back to where I wished to invite people for refreshments. |

Just doing some early morning browsing and found this post. Very interesting as my husband and I are Catholic and C of E and this subject has been touched on in the past. We have opted for cremation. |
