"The monks bless each casket and pray for the deceased,...What a beautiful send off by these monks. God bless them and the lovely child to be laid to rest in the casket. I want to cry thinking about the pain of her parents, extended family and friends. I have faith in God, but a senseless loss of this kind might truly test it.

Is there no end to the exploitation of this tragedy?

After visiting the New Melleray monastery some years ago, I have told my family that I want to be buried in one of their caskets.

IANARC, but, IMHO, this was an act that was a beautiful reflection of our Lord's own ministry here on earth. My appreciation for the ministry of these Trappist monks and my admiration of this particular act of mercy and grace is beyond words.
Their ministry beautifully reflects His example and admonition in Matthew 19:14.
May they one day hear His words, "Well done, thou good and faithful servant..."
