Want to Ensure Your Funeral Reflects Your Faith?
Why You Should Pre-Plan Your Catholic Funeral
Protect Your Final Wishes
If your loved ones have drifted away from the faith, they may not fully understand or honor your desire for a Catholic funeral. By pre-planning, you ensure that your final wishes are clearly documented, leaving no room for decisions that conflict with your beliefs.
Ensure a Proper Catholic Burial
Do you want your body to be respected and properly buried in a Catholic cemetery after a beautiful Funeral Mass, or would you risk your ashes being scattered in the ocean against your wishes? Pre-planning allows you to specify exactly how you want your funeral and burial to be conducted, ensuring it aligns with Catholic teachings.
Relieve the Burden on Your Loved Ones
