‘The subject of death can be a taboo subject in our secular society. But in the light of our Catholic faith it is one we should have the confidence to face. Completing this document will make it so much easier for your family or friends to make the arrangements for your Funeral at what will be a sad and difficult time for them. More importantly, if your family are not Catholics, or have lapsed from the practice of the faith, or where there is not family around to ensure that your wishes will be followed, it ensures that you will receive what is your right as a member of the Catholic Church’. (Cardinal Vincent Nichols). Instructions for my Funeral Mass forms are available at the back of our 3 churches or call the Parish Office who can post out.
