Catholic Funerals

There is no doubt that there is sadness and mourning when someone passes away. But for those in the Catholic faith, there is also joy in that death also represents the entrance of the deceased into eternal life. To celebrate this occasion and to provide comfort to those who are left behind, Byles-MacDougall Funeral Homes can assist in the arrangement of Catholic funerals.

One of the most significant services that Byles-MacDougall Funeral Homes offers the bereaved involves contacting the priest and other figures in the church to offer support. Our staff works closely with them to provide the family with the support they need. In addition to this, we also arrange a Catholic vigil - a prayer service that is usually held in the evening before the funeral.

At the time of the service, the staff of Byles-MacDougall Funeral Home will incorporate Catholic elements to make it into a meaningful moment for all those who are present. The celebration of the Eucharist, a reminder of the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ, is also be performed. We also provide options as to what kind of service is preferred during the Catholic funeral.

Finally, the interment is treated by our expert staff with utmost respect. The Catholic faith believes that the body is the temple of the Lord and should, thus, be given much honor. If the family prefers cremation, Byles MacDougall will conduct the service in a way that acknowledges the sanctity of the situation.
