Planning a funeral Mass is an act of love and faith, and our parish community is here to support you every step of the way. Sacred music plays a profound role in the liturgy, offering comfort, prayer, and hope as we commend your loved one to God’s eternal care.
How Music Arrangements Work
- Scheduling: Funeral directors coordinate directly with our parish office to schedule services and notify our Director of Sacred Music so that professional musicians can be secured.
- Seamless Payment: You do not need to worry about separate payments for musicians. Musician fees are conveniently rolled into the arrangements handled by your funeral home, who will disburse payment directly to the musicians.
A Note on Music Selection:
Let Us Care for You
We know that planning a farewell for someone you love involves many decisions. Families do not need to pick the music for the funeral Mass. That is our responsibility, not yours.
We strongly believe that during a time of grief, you should not be burdened with choosing unfamiliar liturgical music. Allow us to take this task off your plate and provide a prayerful, beautifully executed musical liturgy for your family.
That being said, if your family has a cherished hymn or a specific musical request that holds special meaning, please share it with your funeral director. We are more than happy to accommodate a special request whenever possible, provided they meet standard Catholic liturgical guidelines (much like wedding and other ceremonial music, selections must be sacred and appropriate for Mass).
