For anyone keeping the cremated burial remains of your loved ones at home for at least three months or longer, the open house events could be the perfect opportunity to give a loved one the resting place they deserve. The Catholic Church's Catechism teaches that every spiritual soul "is immortal: It does not perish when it separates from the body at death, and it will be reunited with the body at the final Resurrection" (CCC 366).

As a result, Catholics believe the cremated remains of loved ones should be given a sacred and dignified resting space. Having cremains interred in a chapel mausoleum or cemetery also offers families a designated place and time to grieve, heal, pray, and honor the memories of their loved one surrounded by magnificent liturgical art inspired by the Holy Family, the Apostles, heavenly saints, and angels.
By contrast, when the cremated remains are left in a home, they can fade into the background of everyday life and be left forgotten.
Meet with caring and professional Memorial Planning Advisors to learn how easy it is to have a loved one’s cremated remains interred in a mausoleum or cemetery.
