Preparation
The celebration of your life should reflect your life and values. There are many questions about how the liturgy will be handled at the time of death. Advance planning enables you to be in the best position to examine the choices in depth, give them significant thought and consult with others whose feeling may be important to your decisions. We encourage parishioners to pick up and/or complete a Funeral Liturgy Preplanning Packet from the Parish Office.
At the time of death
Representatives from our Bereavement Ministry are available to meet with loved ones to assist in preparing the Funeral Liturgy which will include any information available via any Funeral Liturgy Preplanning Packet that we may have on file.

- Music is integral to the funeral rites. It allows the community to express convictions and feelings that words alone may fail to convey. It has the power to console and uplift the mourners and to strengthen the unity of the assembly in faith and love. Some Scripture related song suggestions that have been chosen to express the paschal mystery of the Lord's suffering, death, and triumph over death.
