Funeral Mass
Embrace’s Catholic funeral guide describes the church Mass as part of the farewell. Speak with the parish about the liturgy and tell the funeral director the church location and agreed timing.
Procession and committal
Embrace lists a hearse and guest transport and can help book cremation or burial. The Catholic Rite of Committal is the final prayer service at the place of rest.
What to discuss with your family
- Ask the parish who will lead the vigil prayers and when the church is available for Mass.
- Share the locations for the wake, Mass and committal so travel can be planned.
- Discuss any readings, hymns or family roles with the parish.
Confirm parish and priest availability, Mass and committal arrangements, and any venue or transport items that apply to your package.
