A vigil service is offered the day before the funeral.

The funeral may be either a Mass or a Liturgy of the Word. We recommend a Liturgy of the Word service for people who are not practicing Catholics.

Following the funeral, a graveside committal service is also available.

Please Note: A funeral Mass is not a tribute service for your loved one, it is first a public act of worship to God. As such it is bound by certain rules of the Church. Given that it is situated within a specific parish community it also will follow the practices of our community. The Mass does not belong to any individual nor is subject to alteration based upon preference. Should you request to have the funeral Mass of your loved one at Our Lady of the Lake these ideals will be followed. Special requests can sometimes be accommodated, but rarely and only if they conform to these principles. Many of the things people request are very fitting for a vigil service or during a reception, but they are not fitting for Mass. Please understand this before making your requests.
