Bereavement and Funerals

“If, then, we have died with Christ, we believe that we shall also live with him.”

— Romans 6:8

If you are here because you are seeking information on funerals due to a loved one that has passed, we offer our sincere condolences and prayers. We’re here for you.

Be comforted knowing that, as Catholics, we believe that death is not the end. It’s truly a new beginning. Ministering alongside you and your family in this time is important to us and a work of mercy that expresses our shared hope in the Resurrection.

For immediate assistance, please contact your cemetery or mortuary coordinator. For scheduling of the Funeral Rites at Holy Family, we can be contacted at (714) 639-2900 or parish@hforange.org
