Nice.
Look, unless you'd throw your grandma in the meatgrinder, we all honor the dead in our own way. Wreaths of flowers at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier, taps, Presentation of the Colors.
God is gracious enough to honor the dead, too --- sometimes granting healing miracles and blessings through their prayers and by means of their mortal remains, just as Jesus healed people who touched the hem of His garment; just as people touched their handkerchiefs or aprons to the Apostle, and when they brought these cloths back to the sick, their sick were cured (Acts 1:211-12.)
Not by magic, but by faith in God, which God decided to grant through the prayers for the faithful and through their beloved remains.
Here's the hair that St. Claire of Assisi cut off when she became a nun. Nice. But my husband, my stylist --- how short-sighted! ---- isn't saving mine!
