Summary

The Catholic Church has two thousand years’ experience escorting the deceased into the

Kingdom of Heaven, and just as much experience consoling those who remain behind. Holy

Mother Church’s funeral rites offer an unparalleled avenue for remembrance and worship

through the throes of grief into the comfort and joy of the resurrection. Prayerful

preparations and planning of the funeral liturgy will help you and you loved ones deal

successfully and gracefully with the ultimate rite of passage through death to life.

It is customary that an offering be given to the Parish or priest/deacon, the usual amount

when arranged though the funeral home is $250.00. This is a suggestion only and is not

mandatory.
