Common Questions ABOUT CREMATION

Does the Catholic Church permit cremation?
Yes. The Vatican has permitted cremation for a number of years. The Church believes that human remains are sacred, and must be buried on consecrated ground. This applies to cremated remains.

Is it possible to have a wake with cremation?
Yes. To the Irish, the wake, at which relatives and friends gather to reminisce and comfort the family, is an important part of the grieving process. You may choose to have a wake before cremation, or you may hold a memorial service at a later date.
