Whether you’re interested in preplanning your own funeral or making plans for a loved one, you’ll want to look at our faith traditions.
In brief the funeral can have three basic elements:
1. Vigil (sometimes called visitation or rosary)
2. Funeral Mass/Memorial Mass
3. Rite of Committal (graveside)
Catholic Funeral & Cemetery Services (CFCS) proudly offers both funeral and cemetery services, all under the guidance of the Diocese of Oakland. Families can take care of all their needs in a single visit, with CFCS coordinating the arrangements with the Church, priest, staff, and family. Catholic Funeral & Cemetery Services can be contacted or referenced for your guide through the decision making process either online or call (510) 605-4921 (24/7)
If you’re using another funeral home, please have their funeral director call the Cathedral parish office about the funeral Mass at 510-832-5057 and ask for the Events Coordinator, Jeremiah York, ext. 277.
