- Mass with Cremains Present
- All arrangements and scheduling for Funeral Mass that will occur with cremains (ashes) present will only be scheduled once the family has possession of the ashes.

- All funeral liturgies include music at the Church of the Little Flower. This includes a cantor with organ or piano accompaniment. All music for a Funeral Mass must be sacred and liturgical. The use of secular music is not permitted. All music requests must be approved by the Director of Music Ministries or the Pastor. If you have any questions regarding music please contact Luis J.
