Is approval based on favorable ethics of the time and or as a political marketing exercise? It seems that when it comes to sanctified funerals, in contemporary times, only the gay porno movie makers miss out and it seems that the public scandal determines approval or not. Catholic Funeral rites The Church denies funeral rites to the following people unless they gave some signs of repentance before death: notorious apostates, heretics, and schismatics; those who chose the cremation of their bodies for reasons contrary to Christian faith; other manifest sinners to whom a Church funeral could not be granted without public scandal to the faithful (cf.
