B-20 Cremation in the Diocese of Victoria: Answers to Burning Questions Does the Church allow cremation of the body? What is the proper method for final disposition of the cremated remains? These questions and more will be answered in this workshop. As Christians, we profess faith in the incarnation of the Word made flesh and His bodily resurrection, which we will share on the Last Day. We are reminded of the words of St. Paul, “Do you not know that your body is a temple of the holy Spirit within you, whom you have from God, and that you are not your own? For you have been purchased at a price. Therefore, glorify God in your body.” (1 Corinthians 6:19-20)
