We are never prepared to lose someone we love to death. 
In our grief, it can be overwhelming to prepare a funeral, especially if the loss is sudden or this is your first time planning a memorial.
Planning a funeral as restrictions relax and we find ourselves adjusting to post pandemic changes adds additional stress to our grief. The Pastoral Staff at St. Bridget’s is here to assist you in any way we can.
The planning materials you find here include suggested readings, music, and an outline to pull all the details together. These resources are not the only choices, but a comprehensive guide. At St. Bridget’s we take great care with each family to prepare a thoughtful and fitting celebration that both honors your beloved’s life and witnesses to those who mourn how that life was well lived.
The resources provided may allow you to do some pre-planning with a loved one still present or give some quiet preparation time after death to pray and pour over readings and music without needing to rush. It is our hope that these materials can offer some comfort and care until we meet in person.
If you would like to pre-plan YOUR funeral with the resources below, our Pastoral staff is available to meet with you. This can be done in our office or at your home. Please call the Parish office at (612-529-7779) to speak with a staff member.
Please know, we hold you and your beloved deceased in prayer.
