Funeral Services
Funeral services at Holy Family Church are held Monday through Friday at 10:00 a.m. Arrangements must be made with the Church before funeral arrangements with the funeral home. Viewing in church and Rite of Committal at the cemetery resume as of December 23, 2021; social distancing and mask wearing are still required. Tributes and solos are done before the service at 9:00 a.m. Please keep your prelude activities to the minimum. Funerals are not held on weekends (Saturdays and Sundays). Lectors of Holy Family Church will do the readings. Thank you for your cooperation.
In compliance with the Government’s guidelines and the Department of Health, we must emphasize that funeral services here at Holy Family are limited to one hundred (100) persons. For the duration of the pandemic, there will be no funeral masses at Holy Family Church.
The church service fee is $600 for the deceased registered Holy Family parishioners and $600 for non-members. Organist fees are handled directly with the organist.
