Do all Pagans agree with HAD's aims?
Not only are Pagans human beings, with their own thoughts and ways of expressing or presenting those thoughts, but Paganism is a broad spectrum of beliefs, theologies and ontologies; the question would therefore be relevant if HAD were proclaiming there were one answer to the question of human remains. However, HAD is not declaring one policy in terms of action. HAD's focus is to ensure that there is discussion, consultation and shared decision-making around ancient human remains. In this way, all interested parties, including local communities and Pagans, will be heard when it comes to human remains (ancestors) exhumed within their landscape, ensuring that the spiritual, religious and social value of these remains is presented alongside any scientific, monetary or political value discerned by those funding or carrying out that excavation.
