Order of Christian Funeral

Funerals Can Take A Number Of Forms

1. Most often we celebrate a Funeral Mass and Graveside Prayers.
2. Some families prefer a less formal remembrance, A Funeral Home Service and Graveside Prayers.
3. Occasionally families choose a Graveside Service only.
At each, we ponder the mystery of our death and resurrection in Baptism by which we are sharers in the Resurrection of Jesus Christ.

Planning A Funeral Mass

A funeral Mass is one of the best last gifts that we can give to our loved ones, especially those who have been devout Catholics. At a Funeral Mass we express our belief in Christ’s resurrection and our hope for eternal life. We pray for both the soul of the deceased and the comfort of those who grieve for them. We hope this list of appropriate readings and songs for a Catholic Funeral Mass will assist you in making your selections for your loved ones Mass.
