Priests and deacons should receive respect and reverence in life and in death. Deacons are very active with helping priests and deacons with their health care and housing concerns. This includes visiting with the sick, helping them relocate, and planning clergy funeral liturgies. Periodic visits to ailing clerics and scheduling the sacraments are routine operations. Funeral liturgies are done with utmost care and in keeping with the desires of Church teachings. For clergy, it is very important to have documented funeral plans, along with family information, to effectively carry out funeral desires and to help alleviate concerns should the cleric be in the hospital and incapacitated.
