“Along with the Archdiocese of Detroit and various Catholic partners in the area, Catholic Funeral and Cemetery Services is hosting 13 end-of-life planning workshops throughout the area, covering topics ranging from planning a funeral to making sure one’s assets are distributed property after they pass away. Deanna Cortese, outreach director for Catholic Funeral and Cemetery Services, told Detroit Catholic that families can face up to ‘125 decisions’ in the first 24 hours after a person passes away, including where the funeral should be held, how the body should be buried, and what to do with the deceased’s finances.” She joins us today.
