Bucks County Parishes
When a loved one passes away, one of the first steps is to arrange for a funeral Mass with a local parish. Typically a funeral director will contact the church to plan services. If a funeral director is not involved, you would contact a parish office to determine a date that a priest is available for a funeral Mass.
