Funeral Information
The Parish of Saint Josephine Bakhita holds you and your family in prayer during this time of loss. We are honored to walk with you as you plan a funeral celebration that truly honors your loved one.
To begin planning:
When you are ready, your first call should be to the funeral home of your choice. Their staff will work directly with the parish to coordinate available dates and clergy.
From there, our Music Director, Rochelle Bard, or a member of our Funeral Planning Team will reach out to schedule a time to go over the details together. Much of this can be done from the comfort of your home if you prefer.
To help guide your planning, please download and print our Parish Funeral Planner below. It will walk you through choosing Readings, Readers, Prayers of the Faithful, Gift Bearers, and Music for the liturgy.


We are here for you every step of the way. Please don’t hesitate to reach out with any questions: rochellebard@gmail.com.
