Diocese of Graz-Seckau

New offer: seminar for personal funeral planning

This is an offering that has never before been available in Austria: Deacon and grief counselor Bernhard Pletz is giving a lecture in Graz titled “My Funeral.” Planning for one’s own death is intended to ease the burden on relatives and provide oneself with peace of mind.

The death of a loved one is undeniably a life-changing experience. However, it is often accompanied not only by grief but also by a sense of being overwhelmed. Planning a funeral frequently leads to discord, as Bernhard Pletz knows. As a deacon and grief counselor, he has found a unique approach to this problem: On November 6, he will lead a seminar titled “My Funeral” at the seminary of the Diocese of Graz-Seckau.
