My father’s funeral was held at the Church of the Blessed Sacrament in Albany, New York . Although this was not my family’s parish, I was familiar with the church since the families of many of my friends belonged to this parish . The church my family had attended, the Church of St. Vincent de Paul, no longer has a permanent priest in attendance and, so, we decided to hold the funeral here, close to the funeral home and not far from the cemetery.
The funeral was held on 09 January 2012 and the Christmas decorations were still on display in the church.
