This part caught my eye:
“Church clearly prefers and urges that the body of the deceased be present for the funeral rites, since the presence of the human body better expresses the values which the Church affirms in those rites”
...this statement seems to conflict with it:
“Proper interment should not be delayed. Ideally it should take place the day of the funeral”
**“Proper interment should not be delayed. Ideally it should take place the day of the funeral”**
Exactly!
