The preferred form of burial for a baptized Catholic is the Mass of Christian Burial in Church, not a service at the funeral home. A viewing takes place at the funeral home prior to the Mass of Christian burial. Any eulogies or words of remembrance should take place at the viewing or the funeral luncheon. The Mass is a prayerful time for presenting the deceased back to our Lord.
Funeral arrangements are made through your funeral director, please speak with them before contacting the parish office. Father Idler and the All Saints staff will assist you in preparing for your loved ones funeral. If you are pre-planning you should name a funeral representative to make sure your last wishes are respected with regard to having a Catholic burial.
