Thank you for sharing this Father Kenneth. This was very interesting and educational as well. A full burial costs anywhere between 12 to 20,000 dollars depending on what type of burial. That is the type of vault, casket, opening the grave costs, etc. This is why many choose cremation. However, I understand the reasons behind why the church does Catholic funerals the way it does and why they feel that a full burial is more ideal.
Our body goes back to the earth until the resurrection at the Rapture of the church, but as the apostle Paul says, to live is Christ and to die is gain. At death our souls enter into the presence of the Lord. Next week on May 21st my Mom's cremated remains is going to be intered at saint Raymond's cemetery in the Bronx.
