There is a growing interest around the world about the celebration of el Día de los Muertos exemplified by two recent animation movies about this topic, The Book of Life and Coco.

In our faith tradition, the Catholic Funeral Rite is an essential part of the grieving process. It brings us together as a community so we can lighten our grief by sharing it with others.

In Arizona, Catholics are blessed to have many Catholic cemeteries at which to lay their loved ones to rest in the traditions of our centuries-old faith. But what makes a Catholic cemetery and funeral home different from their secular counterparts?

For many Catholics, deacons are a bit of a mystery. Parishioners may see us assisting with Mass on Sundays, teaching RCIA classes or visiting the infirm, but they may not be sure exactly who we are or what we do.

Throughout my life, one thing has made me feel more fulfilled than anything else: helping others.

When I joined Catholic Cemeteries and Funeral Homes in 2006, I was instantly moved by my work. On any given day, I not only help families preplan their funeral arrangements services, but I also help them in times of sudden loss, something I went through myself only a few months ago when my husband passed away.
