Faith Community Funeral Services | Catholic, Evangelical & All Faiths | Abrazo Funeral Home

At Abrazo Funeral Home, we believe that a funeral should reflect the life that was lived — and for most families, faith is at the center of that life. Whether your family is Catholic, Evangelical, Latter-day Saint, Baptist, Pentecostal, non-denominational, or any other tradition, we are here to honor that faith fully and completely.

We do not just accommodate religious services — we actively coordinate them. We make the calls, schedule with the church, arrange for the priest, pastor, or deacon, and deliver everything needed so your family can focus on what matters: being together and honoring your loved one.


Catholic Funeral Services — Mass, Blessing, and Full Parish Coordination

For Catholic families, the funeral mass is one of the most sacred moments in the entire process. It is not an afterthought — it is the center of the farewell. At Abrazo, we understand this, and we handle every coordination detail so the family does not have to.

What Abrazo does for Catholic families:

  • We call your parish church directly to arrange the funeral mass — you do not have to make that call
  • We coordinate with the priest or deacon for the mass schedule and all liturgical requirements
  • We arrange for the priest or deacon to come and bless the body — at our funeral home, at the family's home, or at any location the family chooses
  • We transport the casket and body to the church for the mass and to the cemetery for the graveside service
  • We coordinate the rosary, the viewing, and any other pre-mass traditions the family observes
  • We do as much or as little as the family needs — some families want us to handle everything, others want to make the church calls themselves. We follow your lead

For Spanish-speaking Catholic families, we provide complete bilingual coordination — in English with the church staff and in Spanish with the family. We understand the traditions of the Mexican Catholic community, including the rosario, the velorio, and the misa de cuerpo presente.

Evangelical Funeral Services — Church Coordination, Casket Delivery & Full Service

For Evangelical families, the church is not just a location — it is the community, the family, and the heart of the farewell. At Abrazo, we treat it that way. We coordinate directly with your pastor, deliver the casket and body to your church, and support a service that reflects your faith and your congregation.


What Abrazo does for Evangelical families:

  • We call your church and coordinate directly with your pastor or church administrator
  • We deliver the casket and the body to your church — included as standard in our service
  • We set up for the viewing or service at the church according to the pastor's and family's wishes
  • We transport the body to the cemetery or burial site after the church service
  • We support worship, praise, and any musical elements the church provides
  • We serve Evangelical families of all denominations — Assembly of God, Church of God, Foursquare, non-denominational, and all others


For Spanish-speaking Evangelical families, we provide complete bilingual service and are fully familiar with the traditions of the Latino Evangelical community, including extended worship services, altar calls during the memorial, and the celebration of the believer's life in glory.

Frequently Asked Questions:


Can Abrazo arrange the Catholic funeral mass for us?

Yes. We call your parish directly, coordinate with the priest or deacon, and schedule the mass. You do not have to make that call during your grief. We handle as much or as little of the coordination as your family needs.


Will a priest or deacon come to bless the body?

Yes. We coordinate with your parish priest or deacon to come and bless the body — at our funeral home, at your home, or anywhere your family chooses. We handle the scheduling so you can focus on being with your family.


Do you deliver the casket and body to our Evangelical church?

Yes. Casket and body delivery to your church is included as a standard part of our service. We coordinate with your pastor, deliver everything needed, and support the service your church provides.


Do you serve Spanish-speaking Catholic and Evangelical families?

Yes. Abrazo Funeral Home provides complete bilingual services for Hispanic Catholic and Evangelical families throughout Arizona. We call the church in English and communicate with your family in Spanish — so nothing gets lost and no family member has to translate during one of the hardest days of their life.


What if our faith tradition has specific requirements I am not sure you know?

Call us and tell us. Our team has 45+ years of combined funeral experience across thousands of families and many different traditions. If there is something specific to your faith that we have not encountered before, we will ask the right questions and make sure it is done correctly. We do not guess — we ask.
