Preparation for Funeral Mass
For families who grieve a devastating loss, a funeral Mass offered for their loved one
provides great consolation and prayer for the repose of the soul of the faithful departed.
Our pastor and members of the liturgical committee will help you prepare the funeral
Mass and select the readings.
In advance of the family’s meeting with our parish priest, readings may be reviewed from
“Through Death to Life.” A copy of this book may be obtained at the parish office or at
Kohut Funeral Home. Download and fill in a form for preparation of the funeral Mass
available at the link below.
