Prayers banned at funeral homes

Prayers banned at funeral homes

HOLGUÍN, Cuba, May 8 (Yosvani Anzardo / www.cubanet.org) – Funeral home
operators say the government has prohibited prayers or any religious act
at funerals.

According to the operators, the prohibition is contained in decree that
makes no religious distinctions. They say that non-religious
observations, such as from brotherhoods, are not permitted either.

"This measure is a new attack on freedom to worship," said one mourner.
