Are You Keeping The Cremains Of Your Loved One At Home? Consider Bringing Them Home (To The Lord)

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 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.

Plan by attending the open house of your choice below. There is no obligation or appointment necessary. Stop in at one of the locations below or go to https://www.rcancem.org/open-house-weekend-saint-gertrude for more details.
