Tribute to funeral professionals
Every March 19th, coinciding with the feast of Saint Joseph of Arimathea, Catalonia commemorates the Funeral Professionals’ Day, an initiative promoted by Associació d'Empreses de Serveis Funeraris de Catalunya (ASFUNCAT) to honor the essential work of funeral professionals.
Saint Joseph of Arimathea is venerated in Catholic tradition as the patron saint of embalmers and gravediggers, in recognition of his role in Jesus’ burial. While this veneration is widespread, the celebration of Funeral Professionals’ Day is a Catalan tradition to pay tribute to those who support families in times of loss.
The funeral sector is not only about death but about memory, respect, and the dignity of every farewell.
At CIRCLE Corporation, we join this recognition and express our gratitude to these professionals, who make a final farewell full of humanity, respect, and empathy possible.
Thank you for your dedication and commitment.
