Funeral Masses and Memorials

Through Baptism, a Catholic begins their faith journey with the belief that death is not the end nor does it break the bonds forged in life. Since the Mass is the central source and summit of our faith, Catholic funerals generally include Mass. The Mass is planned to incorporate the wishes of the deceased and provide opportunity for loved ones to reflect. Funerals are normally held at St. Thomas More Parish at 11:00am, Monday through Friday, allowing time for burial after the Mass.

Pre-Planning a Funeral Service

Pre-planning a funeral service ensures the wishes of the deceased are known and lessens the stress on the family when making decisions. The following forms will guide you through the decisions needed to be made for a Catholic funeral service. Funeral Preference I provides a place to record Mortuary contact information, type of service and burial and Church contact information. Funeral Preferences II guides you through decisions for the mortuary. Liturgy Preference is a guide to help select readings and music and ways to include family and friends in the service. There is also lists of Funeral Readings and list of appropriate music for a Catholic service. These are PDF files under the Forms and Documents on the right side of this page.

After the forms are completed, a copy should be filed with St. Thomas More, the executor of your estate and the mortuary if you have pre-planned with them.

If you have any questions when filling out the forms please call Deacon George Morin at 303.221.9239.
