The St. Cecilia Bereavement Committee provides a Funeral Mass and Vigil planning form for parishioners. This form allows you to outline your specific wishes, which will guide your family through the many decisions that must be made during a time of grief. By completing the form, you offer your loved ones clarity and comfort, ensuring your requests are honored.
Completed forms may be filed with the church office and can be updated whenever you wish. To ensure accessibility, it is helpful to also be given to a family member or stored with your official documents, such as your will or power of attorney.
Should you desire assistance, members of the Bereavement Committee are available to answer questions or review your plan with you.
