And God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes; and there shall be no more death,
neither sorrow, nor crying, neither shall there be any more pain:
for the former things are passed away. Revelation 21:4

Funeral Planning
The loss of a loved one is painful and often challenging to navigate through your grief. We here at Saints Joachim & Anne wish to support you through this difficult time.
Funerals are arranged in cooperation with your funeral home of choice and SJA's parish office. Please make initial contact with your funeral home director and they will contact our office. Your family will then meet with SJA's Director of Sacred Music and Funeral Ministry to plan the Mass of Christian Burial.
We have resources available with information to plan a beautiful Catholic ceremony with suggested readings, prayers of the faithful, music, and opportunities to involve other family and friends in the liturgy (Eucharistic ministers, lectors, gift bearers, eulogists, etc.).
