Burial

The Burial Office celebrates the power of our God to transform our lives even in the midst of death. We gather around the deceased for comfort and sorrow over the loss and to give thanks for God’s gift of the life of the departed.

We encourage people to gather in the church for a Christian burial. The church provides the opportunity for us to gather around the table where we celebrate the hope that heaven and earth are united. Here at God’s table we are nourished with the hope in God’s word and fed with bread and wine that signifies to us the presence of Christ.

Upon the death of a loved one, the clergy of the parish should be contacted immediately. Call the parish office at (201) 792-3563.
