One more question on Funeral Mass

[sharonh28]

I thank you so much for all your help on the Funeral Mass pamphlet I am trying to put together. So Far this is my format

PRelude: “Be Thou My Vision”

Listing of Celebrant and Concelebrating

(Question 1: are the deacons participating listed as Concelbrants or should they be put in a different category?)

Introductory Rites:
Greeting
Sprinklings with holy water
Placing of the Pall: A white pall, symbolic of Christian baptism, is placed on the casket as part of the introductory rites of funeral (added explanation that I was grateful to receive as their will be Non Catholics - in attendance)

Entrance Procession:
Entrance Antiphon: The Lord will open…

Opening Prayer

Liturgy of the Word

(Question #2 - is this in the right order?)

Thanks again to my brothers and sisters in Jesus

Deacons should be separate - only priests concelebrate.

We speak of priest(s) as celebrating (concelebrating) the Eucharist and the deacon(s) as assisting.
