Some service people have their remains mixed in their coffins with others, and the crematoriums undoubtedly mix ashes with others. Bottom line: God will take care of the details on the Last Day. (BTW, I am a Catholic & have recently decided to go the cremation route).

I feel these are man made laws that they "higher" priest decide on based on how they interpet Gods word. God made such a beautiful world and on can't choose to scatter ones ashes in his beautiful country>? And as far as burial, what happens generation after generation of these cemeteries? Where do these bodies go?? Our God is a loving God, who I believe accepts us no matter how we reach him!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8843055978612303082.post-12709224438209216052009-07-08T18:43:52.701-07:002009-07-08T18:43:52.701-07:00As a boy, I asked a similar question.

What about the poor unfortunates who have died in wars where they are incinerated or blown to bits? It would be cynical of me to suggest that the Catholic cemeteries have a financial interest in continuing to generate income.pcsnowhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00492357222427221869noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8843055978612303082.post-65501376508992270112009-07-08T18:40:04.482-07:002009-07-08T18:40:04.482-07:00As a boy, I recalled making a similar question as ...As a boy, I recalled making a similar question as did the comment above, "If God is all powerful, then he should be able to re-assemble the soul for judgment, shouldn't he ?"<br />My father, well versed in theology, told me that there were some truths that we as mortals are not able to understand but must accept. As an adult, I still wonder why the need for a burial plot.pcsnowhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00492357222427221869noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8843055978612303082.post-77866527162868226882009-06-01T11:50:57.150-07:002009-06-01T11:50:57.150-07:00I just buried my cremated Catholic Aunt, and I bel...I just buried my cremated Catholic Aunt, and I believe she will be accepted in heaven just as any other soul would be. If the body deteriorates in the ground anyway, what difference does it make?

How this will be done, no one knows obviously, but the fact that the body used to hold a soul should be respected. Even basic common sense tells us that their is something special about a dead body.davymax3https://www.blogger.com/profile/04920344947294561651noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8843055978612303082.post-86025750799923287492009-01-17T20:34:00.000-08:002009-01-17T20:34:00.000-08:00Well that sucks.
