Preparing for the funeral of a loved one may be one of the most difficult things we do in our lives. In the midst of our personal grief, we are called upon to pause and consider what our loved one would want for a final farewell, what will speak most strongly about that person’s life and how we want him/her to be remembered. There are so many decisions, so many people with questions, and so many tears yet to be shed.
It is our hope that the information found here will help you with the planning of the funeral mass at St. Emily Parish. Whether you have lost a loved one and are planning with family or, perhaps, are accompanying someone walking their final miles on earth on their journey to God who wishes to plan for her/his own funeral, we hope that the materials will be helpful.
