Funeral Planning

Bereavement Ministers, representing the OLA community, serve parish families with funeral planning in the event of a loved one's death or the imminent need to plan for a funeral knowing death is near. This ministry also assists individuals who wish to pre-plan their own funeral arrangements. Following a loss of a loved one, they remain available to the grieving for support and prayer.

Pre-planning your own funeral is one of the most precious gifts you can give to your family, relieving them of the burden of making decisions at a most difficult time. We hope to offer more Pre-Planning workshops in the future. 

If you experience the death of a loved one, please contact the parish office at (909) 626-3596 as soon as possible to begin making arrangements. A Bereavement Minister will contact you to answer immediate questions and to set a time to meet with you to address additional concerns and to make selections for the funeral rite. The mortuary of your choice will be in direct contact with OLA to confirm availability according to the desires of the family.
