STEP 1. MAKING ARRANGEMENTS
 
Option 1. Traditional funeral arrangements

When a loved one passes away, the family’s first phone call should be to the funeral home of their choice.  The funeral home usually arranges the time and place of the visitation, funeral and burial.
Local Funeral Homes
 

Option 2. Arrangements for Cremation or a Memorial Mass

Sometimes a funeral home may not be involved, so families must arrange the time and place of the funeral and burial themselves. The Parish Office (314-487-7970) will be happy to help.
