Catholic funerals
Are they long? DH's godfather passed away, he was suffering so it is for the best although still sad. I've been to wakes but not to a Catholic funeral. What should I expect?

Re: Catholic funerals
they tend to be about an hour or so. The funeral and the wake should be about 2 hours or about that time frame.

well it can be a 45 min church service
then the ride tot he cemetery (if that is what they are doing)
then another little service
all in all it can be time consuming

Re: Catholic funerals
sorry to hear about dh grandfather.
for my dh, i had to be at the funeral home at 8:30 . we left for the church at 10:30.
got back to the funeral palor at 12:00 and by 12:30 it was over. he was not buried though. so i guess the time frame might be a lottle differant if you have to travel far for one place to the next and if he is being buried.

Re: Catholic funerals
Depending how far the cemetary is from the church, I would expect the whole thing to last about 2 1/2 - 3 hours. That includes the mass or service at church, ride to the cemetary, the short blessing/service there and then you leave. Add more time if you will be going to the funeral home before the mass.
