To schedule a funeral, please call our office.

​

Once a funeral is scheduled, please contact the Funeral Coordinator.  The Funeral Coordinator will help with the planning of the funeral services at St. Thomas. When coordinating with a funeral home, we ask that you please contact our Funeral Coordinator as well - contacting the funeral home alone is not sufficient. 

​

Funeral services may be pre-planned. Please contact the Funeral Coordinator to do so.
