Funeral Hospitality

Luncheon Service

A funeral luncheon is available following funeral liturgies at Sacred Heart. A donation is requested to cover the cost of the meats. The side dishes are prepared and donated by parishioners. It is our privilege to offer the bereaved a time and place to gather and continue to share the memories and life of their loved one.

This ministry is an important way to show love to our community. When a funeral luncheon is requested, ministry heads are contacted. They initiate a phone tree to notify ministry members that there is a need for volunteers and food donations.

 If you can:

  • make phone calls, or
  • cook, or
  • donate a store bought food item, or
  • serve food, or
  • clean tables, or
  • wash dishes

you can become involved in this ministry.

If you work and need to bring in your donated food early, arrangements can be made to have your items dropped off or picked up. As always, many hands make light work. If you are willing to lend a hand at funeral luncheons, men and women, please get in touch with us by calling the parish office at (231) 264-8087.
