Funerals

When someone in your family dies, contact one of the parish priests to set a time for the funeral, whether a burial or a cremation. This is done together with a funeral director.

The funeral takes place from St. Barbara Church, where a Requiem Mass is celebrated. From there the funeral procession goes to the cemetery. St. Barbara Parish has no cemetery of its own. If the family does not have its own grave, the cemetery closest to where the deceased lived is used.

St. Barbara Parish has Spanish, Polish and Filipino chaplaincies. If you would like the funeral in one of these languages, or would like to bring in another priest, you must contact that priest yourselves and make the arrangements with him.
