Under a brand new cathedral.

Preferably buried or entombed, facing east.

Underground or at sea is traditional, but there's nothing you can physically do to a corpse that would frustrate the resurrection

I imagine the way the Christian wants written in a will or something.

Burial is prefered

Burial if possible. But if you're in a plane crash or something, not much you can do.

If he's a Catholic, cremation is preferred as being ecologically friendly is very important to Pope Francis, and burial isn't.

Why facing east?

I was reading some stuff the other day and I was wondering what about something like the sky burials that are done in the tibet? of course leaving the buddhist stuff behind and giving a proper ritual first.

Is it wrong?

You're raised up incorruptible in the end so it doesn't really matter. Your burial is temporary

My devoutly Catholic grandfather was cremated, and we still had a requiem mass for him, so I assume it's ok.

CCC 2300

>The bodies of the dead must be treated with respect and charity, in faith and hope of the Resurrection. The burial of the dead is a corporal work of mercy; it honors the children of God, who are temples of the Holy Spirit.

>>779839

CCC 2301

> Autopsies can be morally permitted for legal inquests or scientific research. The free gift of organs after death is legitimate and can be meritorious.

>The Church permits cremation, provided that it does not demonstrate a denial of faith in the resurrection of the body.

"Remember you are dust and to dust you shall return."

That's how any body will ultimately become. Dust

With a shovel I guess?
