Funeral Planning

We offer choices of readings and music. Family or friends can participate in the Presentation of the Gifts. Funeral booklets and our Parish Resurrection Choir are available for each Mass. Contact the parish staff for any special assistance you may require. In addition, the Martha & Mary Ministry is available upon request to prepare and serve a reception in the parish center following the burial of a loved one. This can be a great support to the family. Just contact the parish office to check on the availability of the parish center and to make arrangements.

For the convenience of the bereaved, the following will be contacted by the parish office for a funeral at Holy Cross Church:

• Organist
• Resurrection Choir
• Greeters hand out the funeral booklets and are also the Ministers of Communion.
• Maintenance
• Altar Servers
• Luncheons

• CDC Funeral Regulations for COVID
• Planning Worksheet
• Personal Information for Funeral Mass
• Words of Remembrance
• Old Testament
• New Testament
• Funeral Music Selections

Have You Pre-Planned Yet?
There is no time like the present to gather information.
Why Pre-Plan?

• Provides Peace of Mind
• Saves your family the emotional burden of having to make decisions at a very stressful time
• Your personal needs and desires are met
• Able to pay over time with no interest

Our God of Consolation, in His unending love and mercy, has turned the darkness of death into the dawn of new life.

We Invite You to a Special Liturgy of Remembrance
