Bei einem Requiem wurde dem weit über die Parteigrenzen hinaus geschätzten Finanzlandesrat gedacht. Erzbischof Franz Lackner stand der Messfeier vor.

Requiem im Salzburger Dom
„Josef Schwaiger stand mitten im Leben und ganz im Dienst der Allgemeinheit. Er wurde abrupt vom Tod umfangen. Meine große Anteilnahme gilt seinen Freunden und Verwandten. Halten wir nun Stille und bitten Gott um sein Erbarmen“, so Erzbischof Franz Lackner in den Eingangsworten.
Die Predigt wurde von Abt Johannes Perkmann der Benediktinerabtei Michaelbeuern gehalten. Er betonte, dass Josef Schwaiger als Naturwissenschaftler eng mit der Schöpfung vertraut war und dies in seiner DNA steckte. „Mit seiner bodenständigen Art hat er die Schöpfung als große Verantwortung gesehen und hat dies mit Leidenschaft in seine Arbeit getragen“, so Perkmann. „Als Landesrat galt sein großer Einsatz dem ländlichen Raum und dem Schutz vor Naturkatastrophen. Er war mit Herzblut Politiker und hat sich mit großem Glauben eingesetzt. Für das Gemeinwesen gab er Hingabe und Herz“, erklärte der Abt.
