Join Mary Jane Fox and her guest, Paul Vance as they explore the often misunderstood topic of respecting cremated remains. Whether you're considering cremation or seeking guidance on burial practices, this program provides thoughtful perspectives and valuable resources for navigating these deeply personal decisions.
During our journey, you will:
- Be introduced to the Catholic Church's long-standing tradition of honoring the human body, even after death.
- Discover the significance of traditional burial practices within the Catholic Church, the spiritual importance of funeral rites, and the profound impact of visiting gravesites.
- Hear insights that will bring comfort and hope by praying for the dead, a practice deeply rooted in the Catholic faith.
We are so grateful to this month's Journeys of Hope sponsors, Danny & Anna Rangel, for making this episode possible.
