Funeral Liturgies

The Rite of Christian Burial and Funeral Liturgies

On behalf of St. Cecilia Parish, we wish to express to the family and friends of the deceased our sincere condolences. It is a requirement of our Parish that funeral planning be done in conjunction with a licensed funeral home. Please call the Church Office if you need assistance. The information below will assist you in planning the liturgy itself.

Scheduling for Funerals

St. Cecilia does not allow visitations. Please arrange to have the visitation at your chosen funeral home.

During the School Year:

-Funerals must start at 9:00 am

-If you choose to have a reception using our Hall, the reception must end at 1:00 pm to allow for our school to conduct parent pickup smoothly. This rule only applies during the school year and not when the school is on summer, winter, or spring break.
