We offer our prayers and condolences during this time of grief as you mourn the loss of your loved one. May God grant consolation to your family and eternal rest to the souls of all the faithful departed.

To schedule a funeral at St. James the Apostle Parish, we recommend you first go to your preferred funeral home at which time they will contact our parish to schedule the funeral. Funerals are typically celebrated at 10:00 a.m. on most weekdays and Saturdays. We are not able to celebrate funerals on Sundays.

Please download the Order of Christian Funerals: Planning and Preparation Guide, for general guidelines and music selections. Dr. Marc Brunelle, our Director of Sacred Liturgy is available to assist you in this process. He may be contacted at mbrunelle@stjamesge.org or 630.469.7540, ext. 207.
