Funerals

- “This is the will of my Father, says the Lord, that everyone who sees the Son and believes in him may have eternal life, and I shall raise him on the last day.” John 6:40
Booking a Funeral
- When a loved one has died, the first step is to secure a funeral director to help guide the family. Here, you will find links to the four funeral homes that typically work with our parishes. Once you have enlisted the help of a funeral director, planning with the parish can begin.
  
  Funeral dates must be requested through the funeral director and approved by the Pastor. Funeral directors may contact us at 413-743-2110 x303 or x302 to request a funeral date.

- Funeral Music Planning
  
  The sacred and communal nature of the Liturgy of Christian Burial (Funeral Liturgies) requires careful planning in the selection of music. This planning will ensure the ability of all those gathered to actively participate in the celebration. Because of the sacredness of the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass, secular instrumental or vocal music, or the use of recorded music of any kind, may not be used.
  
  The music listed in the document at the bottom of the page is acceptable for Catholic funerals. Please call the parish office at 413-743-2110 or email the Music Director, Tim Rougeau, at [email protected] if you have any questions.
  
  Besides the service music which is standard for all Masses, we have options for the following parts of the Mass:
  Entrance Hymn
  Offertory Hymn
  Communion Hymn
  Recessional Hymn
  Funeral Music Selection Sheet
