Holy Angels Remembrance Program

June 21, 2018

Posted on November 20, 2012 by Martenson Family of Funeral Homes

The Holy Angels Remembrance program is offered by the Archdiocese of Detroit Catholic Cemeteries. Our Lady of Hope Cemetery in Brownstown Twp., St. Joseph Cemetery in Monroe, Holy Cross Cemetery in Detroit, Mt. Carmel Cemetery in Wyandotte and Holy Sepulchre Cemetery in Southfield offers at no charge, to anyone, of any faith, who has cremated remains at home or is considering scattering, the dignified committal of the remains at any of their cemeteries. The committal will occur at the Holy Angels Crypt and then will be permanently interred within the consecrated grounds of the Catholic Cemetery. With the growing number of families that may be choosing cremation and that may be in need of a place to care for cremated remains, this option is offered from these cemeteries as an alternative for families that choose cremation and wish to have a place for the cremated remains to be placed and cared for.

There is no cost for this program and it is available to anyone of any faith. A marker is not provided with this no cost option. A cenotaph is available for inscription for a small fee.

We are proud of our heritage of serving all families and being able to provide this information to help everyone be able to have a way to place their loved one in a cemetery, if that is their wish, is just one example. This is one way that we can provide help and information that many may not have know is available. Often it is difficult to ask for assistance, we are here to help and you will find that all of our staff is most concerned about offering solutions that best meet your needs and concerns.

In moments of loss, what families often remember most are the stories — the small, vivid details that made their loved one unmistakably *themselves*.

At times we all struggle with what to say when a loved one, a friend or acquaintance has just lost someone to death. We find we often struggle with the right words to say, often times we over think what we should say and we may decide to say nothing at all. At times just being present to the person can make a huge difference or one may say, “I don’t know what to say, but I am here for you.”
