THE MISSION OF OUR PARISH
Holy Cross is a Catholic community of diverse people, rooted in a
heritage of faith, united by the Eucharist and the Word of God.
Following Christ's example, we seek through a variety of ministries, to
know, love and serve God and one another.

SOME CLARIFICATIONS
ABOUT CREMATION
On several occasions in recent months I have had to
deal with some serious misunderstandings about what
the Catholic Church allows regarding cremation.
Church teaching regarding cremation is founded upon
the same principle regarding the burial of a body:
When a loved one dies, we believe that the body,
once a temple of the Holy Spirit, is sacred and is
to be treated with respect and dignity.
for personal keeping or display. Again, the
entire cremains are to be buried as part of the
funeral rites of the Church.
7. Because of our faith in the resurrection of
Christ, no matter how much in our grief we
might want to hold onto someone we love
who has died, in our faith we are to
commend them into the loving hands of
God who will raise them up body and soul.
Therefore, the Church teaches:
1. Although at one time cremation was forbidden,
it is now allowed; however it is preferable for
the cremation to take place after the funeral
liturgy rather than before it.
2. The cremains (the technical term for the
ashes) are to be treated in the same way that
the body of a deceased loved one is treated.
Therefore, what we would not do to a body, we
do not do to cremains.
3. The entire cremains are to be immediately
buried in consecrated ground in a cemetery or
placed in a cemetery mausoleum.
Cremains are not just ashes. These are the remains
of a human person, the earthly dwelling of one filled
with God’s Holy Spirit. While our consumerist culture
will always think of new ways to make a profit off of
death, as Catholics who recognize the sacredness of
every human person and every human body, we
cannot cave in to trends and market ploys that
emerge around death and burial.
Father Scott
4. Cremains cannot be spread on the ground
somewhere else or upon a body of water.
5. The cremains are NOT to be separated and
divided amongst family members or friends.
6. No cremains are to be put in amulets, jewelry,
vials, or urns and retained by family members
