As you plan the fuenral of your loved one, please note that our parish does not do a Rosary and Mass combination on the same day.  This is a recent popular trend that seems convenient, but it is not in accord with the Rites of Christian Burial of the Catholic Church.  The Rosary is usually prayed during the Vigil for the Deceased ont eh evening prior to the day of the Funeral Mass.  Should the family decide that a Vigil for the Deceased with a rosary is not possible, it is not necessary to say the rosary for the deceased.  The Mass is the greatest prayer that we can offer for our deceased family and friends..
