Funerals

Contact the church office to make arrangements: (641) 828-7050 or knoxvillestanthony@diodav.org

A death in the family is a very difficult time. It is during this time that parishioners need the help, support, and prayers of their parish family.

When you are faced with a death in the family and are in need of spiritual guidance, please feel free to contact the pastor at any time.

Local funeral home directors are in contact with the pastor and/or office when arrangements are being made for the vigil prayer service, funeral Mass, and funeral luncheon. They will contact the office to determine the date and time for the funeral, as well as an approximate number of those who will be attending the luncheon.

Father would like to meet with the family as soon after the death as possible. At this time, he can offer prayer and support as well as gain a better insight into the life of a deceased loved one.
