Thérèse Dion passed away at 92 (17-01-2020)

There was no funeral mass in the church? Adhemar had one as did Rene...

 

Maybe because it was private so no information about that...

Why was she cremated? Wasn’t she catholic?

I don’t think it’s any of our business in regard to any decisions on burial or cremation.

Why was she cremated? Wasn’t she catholic?

 

From what I understand, Catholics do allow cremation now, but they are supposed to bury the remains on holy ground. Depending on how devout the Dion family is, they may or may not honor that tradition.

 

What confuses me is that I always *assumed* Adhémar had a traditional burial in Charlemagne, but I have no evidence to prove it as fact. Can anyone confirm/refute this?

 

It is extremely rare for one spouse to have a traditional burial, and the other cremation (buried or otherwise). It’s usually only in cases where a widow(er) was remarried and forced to choose which spouse to be buried with or which method to use—and if no prior plans were made, that decision is left to the surviving family members.

Yes exactly, that's why I was wondering about that.

 

@incognito: Of course it's non of our business, but we can still talk about it and share opinions.

In a new interview with La Semaine, Claudette Dion reveals that Céline sang « Lascia ch'io pianga » from the opera, Rinaldo.

Claudette: “She sang it as though we were in heaven, paradise. She told us that she chose this song not for herself, but because it reminded her of our mother, who we were celebrating.”

 

No video has been made public, but here is another artist interpreting the song:

Today would have been Therese Dion's 93rd birthday. I hope her light is shining down from heaven today and all the days that follow. I can just imagine Therese up in heaven playing her violin and Adhemar playing his accordion and singing together along with the angels, there son Daniel, Rene, Karen and all there other loved ones that have passed.

I didn’t know that Maman Dion and Célive have the same birth month both March.

 

Well, we can only say our birthday greetings here so

 

Happy Birthday, Maman Dion!

Im still very sad about Celine Dions mother death. Her mother was the one who wrote her first song.

[nuts2you]

Mid-January is a difficult time for Celine. Rene passed away on January 14 and now her mom on January 17.

 

Boy, how time flies , this week will make her Moms 1 yr , and Rene dates coming up this week as well

There’s a virtual Fondation Maman Dion fundraiser this weekend, organized by Claudette. Doesn’t look like Céline’s part of it though, unless it’s a surprise.
