"I performed many acts of charity to my kindred, those of my tribe. I would give my food to the hungry and my clothing to the naked; and if I saw the dead body of any of my people...I would bury it." Tobit 1:16-17
We are blessed at our parishes to have a talented, hardworking maintenence staff who perform the sacred work of burying the dead, and work diligently to ensure that our Catholic cemeteries remain a dignified place of rest.
Consider contacting the parish to offer financial assistance specifically to families who could use help covering funeral and burial expenses.
