Cremation for Catholics
The revised Order of Christian Funerals in the Catholic
Church establishes a preference for three sequential
rites consisting of:
- A vigil usually held in the funeral home
- A funeral Mass with the casket in church
- A committal of cremated remains at the cemetery
or columbarium
The Catholic Church has long supported organ and tissue
donation.
