As Fort Wayne's only not-for-profit funeral home, Divine Mercy's traditional funeral or cremation services are among the area's most affordable - in some cases thousands of dollars less for the same amenities! So regardless of your faith, if you think you may have overpaid for pre-planning services from another funeral home, you can quickly and easily transfer those arrangements to Divine Mercy.
This rite is celebrated by the Christian Community in the time following the death and before the funeral liturgy. It is a time when loved ones show their respect and greet the family and friends of the deceased. It is also the most ideal time to share the memories of the deceased through a eulogy or video tribute, usually held at the funeral home the day before the Funeral Mass.

Services
The caring and experienced professionals at Divine Mercy Funeral Home are here to support you through this difficult time. We offer a range of personalized services to suit your family's wishes and requirements. You can count on us to help you plan a personal, lasting tribute to your loved one. And we'll carefully guide you through the many decisions that must be made during this challenging time.
As Catholics, we are blessed with the promise of life everlasting. To be with our Lord in Heaven, we are baptized, follow His word, and keep Him in our hearts throughout our journey on earth. At death, we trust our bodies to a sacred Catholic funeral, to be prepared for the Resurrection. Because we know God created us in His own image and likeness, we honor our bodies with respect and dignity, in life and in death.
The Catholic Church requires the cremated remains to be buried or entombed in a family grave, urn garden or columbarium. Scattering or keeping cremated remains in the home are not reverent forms of disposition that the Church approves. The Church requires that the cremated remains be housed in one urn.
When it comes to your final arrangements, shouldn't you make the decisions? The arrangements you make will reflect your exact wishes and desires. Pre-arranging your own service will help to ease the burden of your loved ones. It will also alleviate any questions, problems or differences, which can occur among family members.
Meaningful memorialization of a loved one's passing can transform, heal, and comfort us. It highlights our loved ones' sacrifices, reminds us of the things that they value, and inspires us with their life stories. Have the Talk of a Lifetime, a program created by The Funeral and Memorial Information Council, was designed to help families have meaningful conversations about the things that matter most in their lives.

I spent some time at the Catholic Cemetery yesterday. So often rainy days draw me to visit loved ones and pay my respects. This is a very very beautiful and well-kept place.
I called ahead to make sure it was okay to post photos ahead of time. They were very friendly and polite and I was told photos are fine as long as no family names are visible.
This Cemetery has a very interesting history in Fort Wayne looking it up online is a great read.
