Burying the dead: A guide to Catholic funeral planning
Joshua Schipper
A stone altar centrally located at Catholic Cemetery, Fort Wayne, reminds visitors that death is not the end of life, but rather continues a life of faith begun in the waters of baptism. Prayers for all departed souls will be heard at the altar Nov. 2, where an All Souls’ Day Mass will be celebrated by Bishop Kevin C. Rhoades at noon; and included in this edition of Today’s Catholic is a special pullout section on death, burial and Catholic funeral planning.
