Burial, cremation or....?
We discuss the choices available as the Vatican issues guidelines on cremation and burial
We discuss the choices available as the Vatican issues guidelines on cremation and burial after death. The Church says there's been an 鈥渦nstoppable increase鈥 in cremation and has issued advice forbidding the scattering of ashes 鈥渋n the air, on land, at sea or in some other way.鈥 Also, as Canada's largest pharmacy chain formally applies to be a distributor of medical marijuana, we hear from those that take the drug for medical purposes. And, people in Cameroon discuss the aftermath of Friday's train crash that killed at least 79 people and wounded 600 more.
