Objections of the Church to crematoria
Its opposition to creation
incinerators in parish cemeteries was approved by the Permanent Holy Synod
during today's meeting. The reason is that DIS claims that
the decision to cremate or bury the body should be made
from the deceased, while he is alive and not by his relatives.

As it states in its relevant announcement, DIS intends to
inform the State about this while deciding to address a question to

are the normal consequences of burning the dead and if the energy
this is in accordance with the practice and tradition of the Church.
