Funerals

"Blessed are they who mourn, for they will be comforted." Matthew 5:4

On behalf of the Notre Dame parish community, we extend our deepest sympathies during this time of loss. Please know that we, as a parish staff, are here for you and are ready to assist you during this time of grief and funeral planning.

The church marks three times of prayer during the funeral process, namely:

The Wake Service occurs when the family gathers, usually at a Funeral Home

The Funeral Liturgy, which usually occurs at the church

The Committal Service, which occurs at the time of interment

Notre Dame works with all of the Funeral Directors in the area. After you meet with them, they will contact us, and a Funeral Planner from our parish Bereavement Team will contact you.

The Notre Dame Bereavement Funeral Planner will contact you to prepare the Funeral Liturgy for your loved one. Below is the funeral liturgy information you may wish to review ahead of the meeting to support your preparation.

If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact the Parish Office at 973-226-0979 during regular business hours.
