Eastern Orthodox note on good cause needing clarification

I propose that the phrase "...or if it may be sought for good cause", that is annotated as needing clarification include the example of "late discovery of a body (when several days or more have passed and the body is already decomposing)." This is clarified by Subdeacon Jeremiah McKemy in his RESPECTING THE IMAGE OF GOD An Apology for Traditional Christian Burial found https://www.orthodoxroad.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/09/Orthodox-Christian-Burial-McKemy.pdf Subdeacon Jeremiah references the 1932 Russian Synod which is detailed at http://orthodoxinfo.com/death/cremation.aspx#sobor.

Teeth - teeth are not mentioned

Teeth, fillings, dental implants are missing from the article. my understanding is that they break up like bone in modern crematory temperatures, but I’m uncertain about cremation using wood. nor do I have any sources to add this information to the article, but it feels needed for completeness. 207.229.170.204 (talk) 16:42, 13 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
