| "The
Importance of a Memorial" |
|
|
| Memorials
are stepping-stones to the past, and to the future - they link the
generations. |
| Memorials
are a practical way of perpetuating these memories and providing a
focal point for family, friends and others. Memorials may be as modest
or as extravagant as you decide or as you feel the deceased would
wish. |

| "Questions
people ask about Cremation" |
|
| There
are approximately 125,000 deaths each year in Australia and around
65,000 cremations take place. The overall average for Australia is
just over 50%, but in areas where cremation facilities are more readily
available the rate approaches 70%. |

| "Catholics
may choose Cremation" |
| |
| Many
Catholics are still unaware that the attitude of the Church to cremation
has changed in recent years. Burial remains the recommended practice.
But if cremation is chosen, this is permissible. The only prohibition
is that cremation must not be chosen as a way of denying Christian
teaching, particularly belief in the resurrection of the body. |

Coroner has a legal responsibility under the coroners Act 1985 to
investigate certain deaths to find out what happened and why. The
coroner's investigation may assist in preventing other deaths. This
booklet is written to help the family and friends of any person whose
death is reported to the coroner's office. |
