Parishioner of St. Malachi:

Your pastor, Father Schuerger, has given me permission to send the enclosed important information to you.

Death is always an emotional and unsettling experience for family and loved ones. They must not only face the loss of a loving person, but also the tasks of facing many unfamiliar and costly decisions. To help prepare for that time, the Catholic Cemeteries Association has prepared brochures to answer the most commonly asked questions. Planning cemetery needs is a wise choice, when you can do so calmly and prudently.

In recent months we have listened to our Catholic families' requests for a more simple method of obtaining cemetery plots without financing costs. In response to these requests, we now have two pre-need programs available:

PRE-NEED PROGRAM #1

You may purchase any grave in our cemeteries for $30.00 per month, interest free, until paid.

PRE-NEED PROGRAM #2

You may purchase the BASILICA_TM vault, the BASILICA_TM headstone, and grave of your choice from our cemeteries. We will accept equal monthly interest free payments for 36 months.

Our Catholic Cemeteries counselors are available to assist you. During this time period, for the parishioners of St. Malachi, a special discount has been arranged until January 31, 2001. This discount may not be used with any of the no-interest programs.

Sometimes all the literature in the world cannot answer questions as easily and clearly as another person. We are available to assist you and explain cemetery services at our cemeteries.

If you wish to schedule an appointment at any of our Catholic Cemeteries, please return the card provided. I can also be contacted by phone at 216/429-2159, Ext. 15. We are here to serve your needs.


Sincerely,

Neil Corrigan
Manager, Parish Services
