Neil O’Donnell Funeral Home is well known and knowledgeable about the rites and rituals of Catholic burials.

For most traditional Catholic funerals there are three stages, the Reception of the Body or Prayer Vigil, Funeral Mass, and Committal. The Reception of the Body is when the body is taken into the church on the eve of the Funeral Mass. Family, friends, and loved ones gather to pray and remember the deceased. There may also be music and reading of the Bible. The Reception of the Body does not always have to take place in a church or other place of worship. The Reception of the Body can also occur at the family home or at the funeral home.

The Catholic Church encourages practicing Catholics to have a Funeral Mass or Requiem Mass. Funeral Masses are important because they include the Holy Communion, an important aspect of the commemoration of Christ’s death and resurrection. Hymns and church music are another aspect of the Funeral Mass. There is also a reading from either the Old or New Testament done by the family or friends. The priest will also read a passage from the Gospel. After this reading, the priest will deliver the homily on the meanings of his readings. He will also speak on the deceased. A funeral mass, family and friends will bring bread or wine to perform Holy Communion. After a special prayer is done, the priest will sprinkle the casket with holy water.

Finally, the Committal is when the deceased is buried. Mourners will follow the coffin to the graveside for the Rite of Committal. This is when the priest reads a verse of scripture and says special prayers. The Rite of Committal ends with those gathered reciting the Lord’s Prayer and the priest delivering a blessing.
