Funerals
"Blessed are they who mourn, for they will be comforted." Matthew 5:4
On behalf of the Notre Dame parish community, we would like to express 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 be in touch with us and you will be contacted by a Funeral Planner from our parish Bereavement Team.
The Notre Dame Bereavement Funeral Planner will contact you to prepare the Funeral Liturgy for your loved one. Below is funeral liturgy information that you may wish to look at ahead of that meeting to help you in the preparation process.
If you have any questions please do not hesitate to contact the Parish Office at 973-226-0979 during regular business hours.
