Since people do not plan funerals often, you may have questions about what decisions need to be made. The Quick Links above offer information about some of those decisions.
In addition, here is some general information about funerals held at St. Boniface Parish and St. Meinrad Parish:
Funerals are scheduled to begin at 10 a.m. Central Time.
If you wish to have visitation hours for family, friends and neighbors, that can be scheduled in the church before the funeral.
A private prayer service for family can be scheduled before the public visitation.
A bereavement luncheon can be arranged for immediately after the rite of commital at the cemetery. Information about the luncheon can be found at the Quick Links above.
Funeral rates at St. Boniface and St. Meinrad parishes are:
$400 for parishioners
$___ for non-parishioners
This cost includes usage of the church; creating and printing the Mass programs; stipends for the organist, cantor and servers; and other arrangements. It does not include an honorarium for the priest or deacon.
Cemetery rates are $300 for a single plot for a parishioner and $700 for a single plot for a non-parishioner.
If you have made preplanning arrangements at a funeral home, the funeral and cemetery fees can be added to that account.
