Dear Friends…

During this time of sadness, our parish community extends our heartfelt prayers to you and your family. We believe the love of family and friends and the comfort of our faith in God helps us to mourn our loss. This leads us to a deeper understanding of God’s loving presence in our lives.

In preparing for your loved one’s funeral, please review the enclosed booklet. Your thoughtful information will assist the priest presiding at the Funeral Mass to speak meaningfully at the appropriate times.

The form entitled “The Mass of the Christian Burial” as a planning guide for the Funeral Mass. It will assist you in selecting the Old Testament and New Testament readings, the music and any possible family involvement in the Mass.

Please take note the “Format for Funeral Liturgies” outline and the “Directives on a Eulogy”. Please enter your selections in the online form below. Any questions you may have after reviewing this information are most welcome. If you are in need of further assistance, please feel free to call the parish office at 908-889-2100 or the Funeral Director.

Our prayers are with you.

The Parish Community of the Immaculate Heart of Mary Church
