Does your Church have an affordable funeral & coffin Program for poor families?

The Franciscan Friars (OFM) of the Saint Anthony’s Shrine in Boston have the interesting “Lazarus Program” for the “forgotten dead.”

The Trappist Monks in Iowa build affordable wooden coffins which range in price from $550 to $1800; at:

trappistcaskets.com/showroom.html

The Lazarus Program provides affordable coffins, funerals, and burial plots to provide a dignified internment for the homeless who die alone on the streets; to poor and indigent families; and to prisoners who pass away with no one to claim the body.

Does your Church or Diocese have a similar Program for the Indigent?

p.s. Those wooden coffins don’t look too bad!
