Funerals
Funeral services are scheduled as the Cathedral calendar and space permit, in the Nave or one of the smaller chapels. There are fees for space use, clergy, verger, and musician time, but pledging members of the congregation and those owning Columbarium space (see below) are exempt from space use fees.
The officiating clergy will plan the service with the family members or friends of the deceased. As with weddings, other clergy may assist, and music must be approved by the Music Department.

Cathedrals have traditionally laid the departed to rest within their walls; in keeping with that tradition, in 1985, Grace Cathedral established a columbarium. Read more about our St. Francis Chapel/Columbarium.
