The St. Joseph of Arimathea Pallbearer Ministry at the University of Detroit Jesuit High School and Academy is a student-led initiative that provides pallbearer services for homeless individuals, military veterans, and others who have no one to honor them at their funerals.

Established in 2015, the program aligns with the school’s motto, “Men for Others,” and is inspired by a similar ministry at St. Ignatius High School in Cleveland.

Students involved in the ministry undergo training to serve as pallbearers, learning about funeral procedures and the importance of dignity in death. Before each funeral, they gather to pray and, when possible, learn about the deceased. After the service, they reflect on their experience, often expressing a deepened sense of empathy and community responsibility.

The ministry not only honors those who might otherwise be forgotten but also profoundly impacts the students, fostering a commitment to service and compassion. Many alumni continue to engage in community service, inspired by their experiences in the program.
