Funeral mass pre-planning

Whether you have just experienced the death of a loved one or if you are pre-planning a funeral Mass for yourself or a loved one, we hope that you will find these short video segments helpful.  Each video segment addresses many different aspects of the Funeral Mass.

Please also note the following links to explore options for the scripture readings and music.  You can record all your selections on the Funeral Mass Planning Sheet.  There is also a pamphlet entitled, “Pre-Planning Your Funeral Mass” which highlights the information found in the video segments.

Fr. Tim, Deacon Greg, and Sr Marcia are happy to help you in the planning process and are available to answer any questions you may have.
