Funeral Luncheons

About

Funeral Luncheons are a helpful service for parishioners wanting to have an easy place togather following the funeral of a loved one. The team sets up the cafeteria and assists, if needed, in the serving or setup of catered lunch items provided by the family. When the family calls to inquire about funeral luncheons, we share the following list of caterers which has been useful.

Setup begins immediately following the 7:30 am Mass prior to a participating funeral program. The setup consists of arranging cafeteria tables and chairs, covering the tables and setting up service for the number of anticipated attendees. Setup also involves preparing other tables for beverage and food service.

Serving begins as soon as families return from internment in a local cemetery or immediately following the service. This time consists of moving food to the serving tables and monitoring family needs.

Clean up in the cafeteria and kitchen follows. This is truly a blessed volunteer service that is suitable for adult parishioners of all ages.
