Cremation & Religion

Most religions accept cremation. Some even require it.

For those whose religion requires cremation to be witnessed, Bayview opens our doors to you. Be assured that our facilities are open to the public.

With 80 years of experience serving our diverse community, we are accustomed to meeting these and other requirements, of every religious faith and ethnic tradition.

If you are Catholic and wondering about cremation, it may be helpful to know that cremation has been an accepted practice of the Catholic Church since 1963.

A Bayview representative is always available if you wish to learn more about cremation options. You may choose to speak to someone in either English or Italian – just request your preference when you call us toll-free at 1.800.563.4045.
