For over 20 years, the Benedictine monks of Saint Meinrad Archabbey have operated Abbey Caskets. All proceeds from our handcrafted wooden caskets and cremation urns support the prayer and works of the monastic community.
The catholic Funeral Mass
Because a Christian has partaken of the Eucharist during life, to be able to come together to receive the body and blood of Christ at a funeral Mass is a tremendous celebration of the life that has gone before us.
The Spiritual Needs of the Dying
The Last Rites often bring a lot of comfort and consolation to friends and family of the dying that aids them in their own faith journey, acknowledging the reality of death, but also of our faith that promises something more after death.
