During this difficult time of bereavement, Sts. Cyril & Methodius Catholic Church is providing you with some guidelines and names of contact persons to assist you with funeral arrangements, etc. We are here to help you in anyway that we can. Please do not hesitate to call with questions.
Funeral Church Reservation: Please check with the Parish Admin for use of the SSCM Church for your funeral. Phone: 512-859-2223 Email: [email protected]
Funeral Planning Form: Please discuss the planning form (located down below under documents) with the Pastor and family. Fill out the needed parts and return to the Pastor or Parish Admin. We will make every effort to help you to have a dignified and comforting service for you and your loved ones.
Funeral: With Mass in Church or in Funeral Home or Graveside only (Arrange with Pastor). If another Priest/Deacon is being asked to have the service, please check with the Pastor first.
Celebrant Gift: A separate gift is in order for the Celebrant ($50.00)
Rosary (optional): Set the date, time and place. The rosary may be led by a member or friend of the family.
Viewing: The viewing of the body is done at the funeral home and if necessary at Church, before Mass. Viewing the body after Mass disrupts the continuation of the Liturgy, which ends at the cemetery. It also deprives the Priest of escorting the body to the funeral coach.
Music: If special music is requested, please meet with Music Minister or Priest ahead of time. Call Parish Office for contacts.
Memorial Cards and Mass Cards: These cards are available at the entrance of the Church and the Funeral Homes. After the funeral, cards may be brought to the Parish Admin once acknowledgements are made. Please call the Parish Admin for an appointment at your convenience.
Parish Hall For use of the Parish Hall for luncheon after the funeral, contact the Parish Hall. The family is responsible for food arrangements for the funeral luncheon. Claire Wilkie: 512-630-6470
