Catholic Conversations #200: Preparing for Eternity: Catholic Funerals, Burials & Hope

Catholic Spirit Radio

Theresa Chambers talks with Fr. David Richardson of Epiphany Parish about his vocation story and a powerful rosary sign that led him to the priesthood. They also walk listeners through Catholic funeral rites—Mass, prayers, anointing of the sick, apostolic pardon, burial procedures—and discuss cremation, green burial options, and how to plan a Catholic funeral in advance. The episode emphasizes pastoral care, grieving together, and practical steps families can take to prepare wills and funeral arrangements.
