Guidelines for the Order of Christian Funerals at St. Margaret Mary Parish

As the death of a loved one occurs or draws near, there may be questions you have concerning how to make sure your family member or friend is prayed for and buried within the Catholic Church. We hope the following information is helpful to you. It is not meant to take the place of talking with SMM staff. We invite you to call us to arrange a meeting, or, if distance prevents that, a phone conversation.
