We had this question a little while ago - I think allowed but not encouraged is probably the best way to but it.

There's more info on a link I posted in this thread
http://www.theanswerbank.co.uk/Society-and-Cul ture/Religion-and-Spirituality/Question369387. html

Please ignore my scrapping with Theland earlier on in the thread - sometimes I really can't help myself

You need to be dead first, otherwise it�s bad.
I was of the understanding that Catholics have been able to choose the option of cremation for over 30 years.

Being a Catholic is bad whether you're cremated or not.

Woah, so Catholics don't have that "turn the other cheek" thing anymore?
