Traditional Catholic doctrine requires that human remains be buried in consecrated ground, that is, blessed by a priest and deemed an appropriate final resting place by the Church. This applies to both intact and cremated remains. Catholics do not have the option of having their ashes spread in their favorite place or kept in an urn by family members.
