The Order of Christian Funerals (click here): the burial of the dead is a corporal work of mercy. As we bury the bodies (or cremains) of our loved ones, we anticipate with hope the resurrection of the body which received the promise of eternal life at baptism and served the Lord, and now awaits the Resurrection of the dead.
 When a loved one dies, please contact your preferred funeral director and he will help you make arrangements.  The parish Ministry of Lazarus will then contact you to help with the Funeral arrangements of the Mass of Christian Burial.
