Funeral Planning & Receptions

You might wish to plan your own funeral -- click here to bring up a form to help you get started.

As soon as there is a death, please contact the parish office. Fr. Dave, Fr. Hans, or Brett will help you select a date and set up a planning meeting. One of our Funeral Coordinators will attend the meeting as well, and serve as your point of contact throughout the process.

The planning meeting will cover all the details for the service itself and the reception to follow. Our Funeral Receptions Ministry handles all the food preparation, setup, and cleanup. There is no charge for the use of the church; the services of Fr. Dave, Fr. Hans, or Deacon Brett; or for the reception.

This is the time that the parish takes care of you. You decide what you’d like to plan and we will do the rest, though family and friends are encouraged to participate in the Funeral Mass.


Participating in the Funeral Reception Ministry is a wonderful opportunity for YOU to provide warmth and peace to our parish family members in their time of loss and grieving. The light luncheon we provide allows for family and friends to share comforting time together after saying goodbye to their loved one. Contact Steve Davis, our Ministry Leader, via the form below if you would like to take part in this ministry.
