Information from SFB Cemetery Office - Planning for your funeral
Can I pre-plan my funeral Mass?
Absolutely! In fact, we highly encourage it. Pre-planning the funeral Mass takes out all of the guesswork for grieving family members, especially those who are not Catholic. Preplanning the funeral Mass gives everyone peace of mind that your wishes are being met. Stop by the parish office for a funeral-planning book. You can choose your readings, the Gospel, and even the music. Do you have a burial space? Now is the time to plan for that, if you haven’t already. At the St. Francis Borgia Cemetery, we have ground space available as well as aboveground niches for crematory urns. Please call Janice Dorn in the cemetery office for more information at 377-1070, ext. 229. Don’t put off until tomorrow what you can do today.
