If we can have a relic from a saint, why can't we keep a portion of a loved one's ashes?

My brother recently passed away and I have mass intentions scheduled on his behalf. I was wondering if there's a time period that we stop doing this?

If a soul has already gone to heaven (or hell), what happens to our prayers for them? Are they for nothing?

Does the Roman Rite take a different approach to tattoos than say the Eastern Rites?

What is Father's opinion on how Sr. Agnes was treated?

How effective are Last Rites when the person is unconscious? How does the sacrament differ in that instance from a patient who is awake and alert?
