This morning I read an article in the News paper about how a priest of the Vasai Diocese, India is promoting the use of a common coffin instead of single expensive ones each time someone dies! He himself took his father who died recently to the grave after the funeral ceremony in the common coffin belonging to the church, and they very respectfully laid him to rest in a shroud.
The bishop of the diocese , Thomas Dabre approves of it.
There are pros and cons to this. It seems to be a novelty, eco-friendly, cheap. However it will adversely affect the business of undertakers!
I wish Fr. Robin Dias, all the best in his new ideal!!
