Introductory price (from now to November 15th) of burial plots at the Benedictine Fellowship of Saint Laurence is $1,000.00. $750.00 of the burial price is a donation to the Fellowship. Write to Father John Connely to request a plot. An additional $300 is needed for vaults for the cemetery plots as a prudent device for preservation of the grave site.

Support the work of monks and purchase a casket from them:

The Benedictine monks of St. Meinrad Archabbey have been making caskets for 150 years in Indiana but they do ship around the nation. Look at Abbey Caskets.
The Benedictine Monks of Chicago at Holy Cross of Chicago help supply caskets from St. Meinrad Archabbey in Illinois and through the nation at Monastery Caskets.
The Trappist monks of New Melleray Abbey handcraft Trappist Caskets in Iowa which can be shipped around the nation.
