Funerals 

"At the death of a Christian, whose life of faith was begun in the waters of Baptism and strengthened at the Eucharistic table, the Church intercedes on behalf of the deceased because of its confident belief that death is not the end, nor does it break the bonds forged in life. The Church also ministers to the sorrowing and consoles them in the funeral rites with the comforting Word of God and the Sacrament of the Eucharist." (Order of Christian Funerals, no. 4)

On behalf of Christ the King, we would like to extend our deepest sympathy at the loss of your loved one. Please know that we are here to help, support, and pray for you during this difficult time. 

Please contact our office and we will be able to assist you with preparing for the funeral and setting a date. You are also welcome to browse through the resources and links on this page to learn more.

As you are planning the funeral Mass, below you will find a list of readings from the Order of Christian Funerals and music that you can choose from. The readings include one Old Testament Reading, one New Testament reading, and one Gospel  (except for Easter is= New Testament only). When selecting music, songs should be sacred and reverent.
