While the Catholic Church continues to prefer burial in the ground, it accepts cremation as an option, but forbids the scattering of ashes and the growing practice of keeping cremated remains at home, said Cardinal Gerhard Muller, prefect of the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith.

"Caring for the bodies of the deceased, the Church confirms its faith in the resurrection and separates itself from attitudes and rites that see in death the definitive obliteration of the person, a stage in the process of reincarnation or the fusion of one's soul with the universe," the cardinal told reporters Oct. 25.

In 1963, the congregation issued an instruction permitting cremation as long as it was not done as a sign of denial of the basic Christian belief in the resurrection of the dead. The permission was incorporated into the Code of Canon Law in 1983 and the Code of Canons of the Eastern Churches in 1990.

However, Cardinal Muller said, Church law had not specified exactly what should be done with "cremains," and several bishops' conferences asked the congregation to provide guidance.

The result, approved by Pope Francis after consultation with other Vatican offices and with bishops' conferences and the Eastern churches' synods of bishops, is "Ad resurgendum cum Christo" ("To Rise with Christ"), an instruction "regarding the burial of the deceased and the conservation of the ashes in the case of cremation."

Presenting the instruction, Cardinal Muller said, "shortly, in many countries, cremation will be considered the ordinary way" to deal with the dead, including for Catholics.

No scattering and ashes preferably not kept at home.

1)The NT and Christians claim not to believe in reincarnation.*rolling my eyes*
2)Ashes of bones does one no good when you need the entact dna from bone marrow like what's best entact in the Lux bone.
They should know this since it's a borrowed belief, but also stolen plagiarized character from the OT who taught about this called Rabbi Yohoshua ben Chananiah who is obviously used for a minute portion of the Jesus teaching.
Rabbi JOSHUA Chananiah taught resurrection teachings and even named the Lux bone.

Wishful thinking for the imposter church to think they would be important enough to the future for us to want to resurrect them there. What part of cast out of the
Olam Habah do they not comprehend?

Uh............they couldn't get past "Hinneh ha-almah harah ve-yeldeth ben ve-karath shem-o immanuel". Were you expecting more?
 
Past King Hezekiah, the son born to Ahaz who had Michael's council?

Hezekiah's visitation was Michael, not Jesus. In my former post listing Biblical visitations I left Hezekiah out or rather he was the etc..

Source:
JW's believe because it says Aggelos (Malakh) of great counsel in Isaiah 9:6 that
Archangel Michael is assisting Hezekiah.
The commentary on Hezekiah in the Dead Sea Scrolls
(Hezekiah Apochryphon 4Q 470)
shows the JW's were correct.
Isaiah 9:7 shows this person was a Davidic king which Hezekiah was.

dust to dust

no flesh, most bodies buried are by now worm food

Even preserved bodies eventually dry up and turn to dust
 
There is a legend about the Luz bone that it is indestructible as you pointed out Michael..The emperor Hadrian asked how would people in the future be resurrected and he was shown that neither fire nor water no blows from a heavy instrument would destroy this bone..The bone is found in the seventh vertabre( Sheva) in the spine If memory serves me correctly.. A n advanced form of 3 d printer could conceivably in the future be used for this purpose using this bone only....I thought the Catholic Church changed the law in 1964.. Regardless when the church put their enemies to death they made it a point to burn the bodies so they would not be coming back so it is ironic that this law was changed showing either their contempt for their followers or that maybe they figure if they are not going to be allowed to enjoy the fruits of the world to come then neither should their subjects either..If future generations are able to time travel it is not inconceivable that select people from the past could be brought back by collecting the Luz bone from their bodies.. There are many different things that could be done... Regardless there is a passage in Isaiah 26 where Isaiah points out to a bodily reserection even of his own body so it is not that far fetched that people long dead could and will be brought back...
 
I have told my family I want to be buried in the Catholic cemetery where my mother is buried in Orange County. We do not have a Catholic cemetery in Las Vegas, and it's very important to me to be buried in a Catholic cemetery.
 
Friendly advice you should never leave those thoughts up to anyone including family...If that is your wish you should have it stipulated in your last will and testimony and you should make sure your plot is paid for and whoever is looking after your wishes has things spelled out plainly for them to follow otherwise you might get disappointed if you knew but you wouldn't obviously as you would be gone...
