Planning a Funeral

Below are Links to the readings for Funeral Services. You will need to choose one reading from each section.

You will also need to consider if you want to have a family member or friend to red each reading. One person for the Old testament and one for the New Testament. Preferably the Psalm is sung by a Cantor, but we can make an exception if needed.

If you have any questions please call and speak with Father Jeff so we can assist you in making your selections.

To make your choice of a Psalm easier we have a sample from each psalm. Click on each link to hear the introduction, response refrain and first verse.

This link is to the Guidelines for the Rite of Christian Funerals. they explain the Funeral and provide information to help you in the planning process.

Here is a link to each Hymn we have ready for choices to be sung at a Funeral. Click on the link to hear a verse and refrain.

We always pray for our beloved during the funeral, but we also pray for others and ourselves. the following links will take you to three different sets of intercessions. Option A, B and C. Chose the one you most like, we can make some changes to wording, or remove a prayer from the intercessions to personalize it for your family.

There is a space, N: _____________ left for the first name of your loved one in the prayers.
