The time immediately following death is often one of bewilderment and may involve shock or heartrending grief for the family and close friends. The ministry of the Church at this time is one of gently accompanying the bereaved in their initial adjustment to the fact of death and to the sorrow this entails. (Order of Christian Funerals)

If you have recently lost a loved one and are looking to have funeral services through Immaculate Conception, normally communication happens through the funeral home you are working with to make arrangements. However, if you have questions and wish to speak with someone here, do not hesitate to contact Will Marsh. If it is after hours please call our after hours and emergency line at 937.272.4898 to make arrangements for a funeral.
After the date and time for the funeral has been confirmed (typically funerals are at 11:00 am weekdays). A trained member of our bereavement team will reach out to you and set up a mutually agreeable time to pick readings and music for the funeral service and share memories of your loved one to assist the presider in preparing a homily.
