SVD BROTHERS FORUM is a digital forum written by its readers. On behalf of the Forum’s Publisher, Fr. Rogelio Bagao, SVD-PHS Provincial Superior, we asked the members of the Arnoldus Family to respond to the following questions.

1. How does your

community accompany elderly or sick confreres before their encounter with death?

2. In your place, are wakes and/or “eulogies” conventional? If yes, what merits of dead confreres are usually commemorated?

3. What burial practices do you know, and how do you evaluate them?

4. Do your cemeteries look traditional, or do they rather follow innovative ways?

5. In what way does your community keep the memory of dead members alive?
