Cremation Service Packages

The Order of the Christian Funerals strongly prefers that cremation take place ater the full funeral liturgy with the body present. However, when this is not possible the Funeral Liturgy, including Mass, may be celebrated in the presence of the cremated remains of the deceased, subject to conditions determined by the Archdiocese. Catholic Mortuaries offers a complete range of cremation packages that follow the preferred rites and the alternative cremation rites. These Parish Packages for cremation are specially designed to complement traditional Catholic observances.
