Hello, I've recently had to deal with my father's bones being placed in an ossuary.
My father passed away in 1987 and the cemetery had placed him on the list to exhume back in 2017. Instead of his bones to be placed in a mass grave of bones, I had the option to have him placed in a n ossuary in the same cemetery. There was a fee. I have provided a link to the image from facebook when it was being blessed by the parish priest. Just copy and paste it in your browser. https://www.facebook.com/matrizdascapelas.paroquia/photos/a.890467641120771/1110441779123355/?type=3&theater Thanks Monica On Wednesday, January 15, 2020 at 10:46:26 PM UTC-5, Cheri Mello wrote: > > Repost for Anthony Silver, thecoloursilver.82 at gmail.com > > Anthony said: > << is the Ossuary a building ?>> > > It depends.
