In an article in today's Edmonton Sun Chris Benoit's father Michael confirmed that Benoit's body was quietly cremated. He wouldn't comment further, stating, ""We're trying to cope. It's a difficult time and we are trying to do our best."

He said that the family intended to comment on the tragedy down the line, once they have had more time to come to terms with it.
