Estimated Attendance

Time of Day you prefer to have the Funeral mass?

10:30 am

Would you, or members of the family, or friends, like to give words of remembrance before the funeral mass starts? This would involve 1 person coming up to the microphone in front of everyone and sharing their experience with the deceased. This would require the whole family being present at 10:15.

Yes
No

The Words of Remembrance should be written out in their entirety. Sometimes even the best-intentioned speaker is overcome with emotion-this allows someone else to complete the reflection if the original speaker is not able to. The Words of Remembrance should be limited to around 5-10 minutes. The time allotted to the words of remembrance should not detract from the order of Mass; also, cemetery staff may be expecting the funeral party to arrive in a timely manner. Another family member or friend may stand next to you for support and comfort if needed. Remember that some stories or thoughts are best saved for a gathering outside of the Church.
