The funeral wake gives relatives and friends an opportunity to gather, pay their respects, remember the deceased and support the bereaved family.

Catholic prayers may be held during the wake according to the family’s parish arrangements and religious practices. The family may also arrange for a priest or church representative to conduct appropriate prayers or rites.

Our funeral director can coordinate the wake schedule and practical arrangements while the family and church determine the appropriate religious elements.
