"This is what's happening today. This is the reality. It is the wave of the future," said Bishop Paul Bootkoski of the Metuchen Diocese, which is building the crematory. "We're going along with what our Catholic population is looking for."
So, now dioceses are allowing columbariums and crematoriums? The Cathedral of another diocese has recently built a columbarium on their property and I understand that the diocese has allowed (& promoted-?)the building of Columbariums. I can't understand why this is being allowed. If we're teaching that cremation should not be encouraged then why are 'we' building them on church properties?
Examples:
Cathedral of Our Lady of the Angels
Christ the King Catholic Church, NC
St. William Catholic Church - Murphy, NC
The Cathedral St. Paul -Birmingham, AL (pdf.-zoom in on left of 'lawn')
Diocese adds mortuary to cemetery services
