Catholic Funerals
At Greenhaven Funerals, we understand the importance of honouring your loved one in a manner that aligns with their faith and traditions. Specialising in Catholic funeral services, we provide compassionate and personalised support to ensure every detail reflects the beauty and reverence of Roman Catholic rituals.
A Catholic funeral service is steeped in meaningful traditions that celebrate life, faith, and the promise of eternal life. Typically divided into three parts, the rites include:
- The Vigil: A time for family and friends to come together in prayer, often held the evening before the funeral.
- The Funeral Mass: Celebrated in a Catholic church, this Mass features prayers, hymns, and scripture readings, led by a priest, to honour the deceased and commend their soul to God.
- The Committal: Taking place at the burial site or crematorium, this final rite includes prayers and blessings, offering comfort to those gathered.
While many funerals focus on celebrating the life of the deceased, Roman Catholic funerals place equal emphasis on the spiritual journey of the departed and the hope of resurrection.
The liturgy, sacraments, and symbols – such as holy water, incense, and the Paschal candle – reflect the Catholic faith’s deep connection to tradition and spirituality.
