What do families who have already scattered ashes of loved ones do now?

I remember calling to Glasnevin to pick up the urn containing my beloved father’s ashes and wondering what to do with it; I couldn’t put him in the boot, so I strapped him into the back seat as we drove to Kerry, writes Clodagh Finn

WHAT are we to do now, the families of the faithful who have already scattered our loved ones’ ashes? Can we assume that the new Vatican ban on the practice won’t be applied retrospectively?

Can we also ask if the Catholic Church is bent on alienating us, the relatives of the 1,300 people cremated in Ireland annually?
