Preplanning your cemetery needs
As Christians, what we believe about death strongly influences how we live our everyday lives. We must carry life’s crosses and bear incredible losses with hope in our hearts. We must gaze upon the bodies of our deceased loved ones and remember that “God so loved the world that he gave his only begotten Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish, but have eternal life” (Jn 3:16).
Unlike many in our secular society, we do not turn away from death nor allow ourselves to believe that death is the end. Trusting that God will “wipe every tear” (Rev 21:4), we stand before him in grief but not despair. Woven into the context of our funeral rites are an abundance of Catholic symbols and metaphors that convey the dramatic journey from baptism to redemption through Christ.
That is also true at our Catholic cemeteries, which provide a welcome sanctuary for family and friends to come together in the belief that life has not ended. While we draw strength from our faith, the loss of a loved one is never easy. It is why planning ahead is one of the most loving and responsible things you can do for your family.
