Funeral Information
-
The death of a loved one is a time of sorrow and profound grief but is also a time when our Christian faith in the resurrection of Christ can offer great comfort. Our Lady of Hope is pleased to offer its parishioners and friends the complete rites as a means of consolation for the living and grace-filled assistance for the deceased. These rites, which include a funeral Mass and the possibility of a vigil in the church or funeral home, are most properly celebrated in the parish church of the deceased, in the presence of their faith community. All remains are treated with the same honor.
As we want to be available to support you, we ask that in the event of a death where you would like the parish involved, you do not schedule any services with funeral homes before contacting us and arranging a day and time for the services.
