Volunteering to help in the planning, set up, be available for anything during (when readers get cold feet to read, prepare gift bearers, eucharistic ministry, and help kiddos in the cry room), tear down, and post implementation (follow up call or card). This opportunity is a privilege and humbling to help families and friends who are going through a loss and is accomplishing a positive way to contribute back to society, step back and reflect whats most impt too. God bless all!
