Are You Keeping The Cremains Of Your Loved One At Home? Consider Bringing Them Home (To The Lord)
If you have kept the cremated burial remains of your loved ones at home for at least three months or longer, our open house events could be the perfect opportunity to give your loved ones 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, we 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 ones 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 our caring and professional Memorial Planning Advisors to learn how easy it is to have your loved one's cremated remains interred in one of our mausoleums or cemeteries.
