Jesus said: “My people, this vision of large empty holes in a cemetery is an exaggeration of the subject of Christian burials. Many people are not having funeral Masses, and they just have a grave side service with the cremated remains. Some scatter ashes and there is not even a gravestone to remember someone’s life. Your body on earth should be respected more in death, instead of just trying to save some money. You find money for all of your earthly pleasures, so spend some money for a proper burial service. Most souls do not go straight to heaven, so they are in need of Masses and prayers to get them out of purgatory. So do not forget to have a Mass offered for the person’s soul when they die. It would be better to give reverence to someone’s body by not cremating it. You also need to have a headstone or plaque to mark where a person is buried. On special days during the year, you can come and pray for the person’s soul when you have a place to go in the cemetery to remember them. Honor a person’s body and their life among you by giving people a proper burial without cremating the body.”
