planning a funeral

All Funeral arrangements are done through the funeral home of your choice. At your interview with the funeral home, you will schedule the Mass and Funeral Vigil (Rosary). The funeral home will then contact St. Joachim to inform us of the details for the funeral. Again, all initial arrangements are done through the funeral home. 

Once the church has been notified with the details of the funeral, your information will be given to the Bereavement Minister. The Bereavement Minister will then contact you to plan the funeral liturgy.
