The funeral liturgy is one of the most beautiful and meaningful celebrations of the Church. Your family has the option of personalizing the Mass by choosing the Scripture readings and by requesting specific hymns.
When choosing scriptures, there should be one reading from the Old Testament, and one reading from the New Testament. A member of our Arimathea group will help you select your readings.
Music at the Funeral Liturgy
OLL Parish will provide an organist for the funeral liturgy at the Church. Family members are welcome to request specific Sacred Hymns or Music. Our music minister will guide you in selecting appropriate hymns. A list is included here for your review.
Please be aware that only Sacred Music may be used at a Funeral Liturgy. As liturgical music magnifies the spoken word, music is a beautiful offering within the Mass of Christian Burial. Music brings comfort and peace to the loved ones attending the Funeral Mass.
