You're Not Alone... You are Catholic..
You want cremation.. but you are confronted with a
dilemma of, "I want to have a Catholic Mass but I just can't afford
the price of a full traditional service." So what many people will
do is take an option of having a simple cremation and then take the urn
into the church at a later date; and that works, but there is always something
missing inside when you don't take the body into the church for a final
blessing. As a Catholic Funeral Director, I have witnessed
this many times over the past few years and have tried to learn new ways of
meeting the needs of the Catholic faith, and at the same time not cause
financial hardship on the Catholic families we serve. To this end we
have developed pricing packages while meeting both needs. Here is news on the Vatican position on Cremation and disposition of the cremated remains as of October 2016: http://www.news.va/en/news/vatican-issues-new-document-on-christian-burial-an
At
Grasso Funeral, Memorial, and Cremation we developed several Special Church Service
Packages which places Faith ahead of Costs: Still not sure of cremation.. look at what the Catholic Church says about Green Burial Options.
