Clear guide to choosing readings, etc. for a Catholic funeral Mass. Appropriate suggestions are made for prayers, Scriptural readings, etc. in a well organized format. The choices are all numbered within each section and coordinate with a downloadable/printable selection sheet. Quite a few parishes utilize this book and the selection sheet to facilitate planning the funeral Mass.
