FUNERALS AT ST. THOMAS MORE

PLANNING

COLUMBARIUM

In a memo that came from the USCCB surrounding some new forms of “cremation”. The first is Humand Composting and the second is Alkaline Hydrolysis. The USCCB has put out the statement below. Please be aware that I do not believe that any funeral homes in Virginia currently offer either of these services, however, since they are used in some states around the country you may run across requests to inter the remains. The statement from the USCCB discusses the teaching on whether we can accept these or not.
