Once the body has been received into church, either at the Vigil or on the day of the Funeral, it will not leave the Church until it is taken to the cemetery or crematorium for the committal. So, please bear this in mind should you wish for your loved one to go to their place of rest starting from home or some other place which was important to them. The way round this is to call at the place on the way to the cemetery/crematorium, but more time would have to be added for this and you will have to speak to your funeral director about this.
