Funerals

The burial of the dead is a corporal work of mercy, and is treated with great dignity and respect here at St. Laurence.

The Church earnestly recommends that the pious custom of burying the bodies of the deceased be observed; nevertheless, the Church does not prohibit cremation unless it was chosen for reasons contrary to Christian doctrine. (canon 1176.3)

Preparation for Catholic funerals are under the direction of the Liturgical Coordinator, Betty Holub at 281-690-5337, or [email protected]

The Ladies' Guild offers to assist with refreshments/reception at parishioner funerals at St. Laurence. They are volunteers who honor Christ with their service of others.
