Pulling in Effie's macabre and Subdeacon Anthony's comments, How in this "practical" world of ours with the eeewwwww factor and all do we get our corpses from the hospital morgue (where we have to go since the police here will not allow someone to be pronounced dead outside of a hospital) to the house then the church without embalming in the humidity of Houston with the stink factor and allow it to reside in the church for 3 days (incense only covers up so much smell) then a days drive in Texas heat to the monastery. Even Lazarus of the 4 days stunk when he emerged from the tomb. I assume I will stink no less after 2 days.

I guess my questions are more relating to the pracitcal side of when you (plural) die, this is what to expect and this is what should be done. I am a very good rules follower. Don't ask me to figure it out on my own. I will end up paying the price of a new ferrari to rest in my grave.
