St. Mary’s hosts funeral luncheons and receptions to provide the family and friends of the deceased an intimate and convenient place to gather after the service. Smaller gatherings are held in the Grauer Lounge at the church, while the Beyer Auditorium is used for larger gatherings. Menu planning is coordinated by a volunteer from St. Mary’s congregation, with input and approval by the family. The cost to the family is only the food and beverages. Setup, serving and cleanup are provided by St. Mary’s volunteers.
