The Liturgy of the Word
Family or friends, if they are able, are encouraged to do these readings. The Word of God brings hope and consolation. At the funeral Mass we have two readings; the first is from the Old Testament and the second from the New Testament. The Readings are not to be read from photocopies. A book will be prepared for you.

Offertory Gift Bearers
Family members or friends are invited to carry up the gifts of bread and wine. This is another liturgical expression of love for the deceased.
