text: John - I had posted a reply to your comment a couple of days ago, but it is "caught" in approval for some reason and I can't get it free.  I'm going to find it and paste it in reply to this reply.  How does one contact Civil Comments in such cases?

  Okay - I found it and here it is:
  John, let me first express my condolences on the passing of your mother. I think you plan for your mother's remains is a beautiful one, and one that illustrates that the dust that our bodies will revert to - one way or another - carry a far more symbolic meaning than just having to do with the resurrection. It is very much about sharing oneself in death just as we do in life. It is in this matter that one should consider and listen to their conscience as it speaks with the Spirit of God and provides us with direction as much as with any other Church teaching. Bless you and your wife in your journey of love.
