Guidelines for Planning the Rite of Committal
- The Rite of Committal is celebrated at the place of burial. It is not celebrated at any other location.
- If desired, military services and certain cultural or social rites are permissible at the cemetery. These other services should be arranged in advance with the presiding priest, who will ensure that they are coordinated in such a way that neither the Rite of Committal, nor the ceremony are robbed of integrity or due dignity.
