The Funeral Rites

Helpful Guide

I chose this to help plan my mother’s funeral. The participation booklet is thoughtfully arranged and provides detailed descriptions of the Vigil, Funeral Liturgy, and the Rite of Commital for Catholic funerals. The Liturgical section does follow the Roman missal but I was disappointed that it did not have the specific Collect, Preface, Eucharistic Prayer, or Prayer over the Offerings that are used during funerals. As someone who follows along with a missal at Mass this would have been extremely beneficial. The end section has a lovely selection of scripture, prayer, meditations and hymns. It is a nice portable size.
