Funerals

Funeral rituals are the beginning of the mourning process. Holy Spirit Parish offers all the rituals the church recommends:

• Prayers of the Church for dying and following death (booklets available)

• Gathering Prayers before the beginning of the visitation

• Vigil Service the evening before the funeral which is more information and a recalling of the spirit and memories of life on earth

• Funeral Mass of the resurrection

• Rite of Committal at the grave with or without Military Honors,

• Funeral lunch provided by the parish for family and friends.

• Funeral preparation can begin before or after death.
