| | | | | Q. | May the ashes be present for a Funeral Mass? | | | | | A. |
It is strongly preferable for the body to be present for the Funeral Mass. After the Mass the body may be cremated. If, for extraordinary reasons, this is not possible, the ashes should be present. If the ashes are not present, the Funeral Mass prescribed in the ritual is not celebrated. In that case a memorial Mass may be appropriate.
