White Robed Monks of St. Benedict
South Florida Presence

Funerals

When families are struggling with the loss of a loved one they are looking for the compassionate, caring presence of God as evidenced by the church. The White Robed Monks of St. Benedict, an independent (non-roman) Catholic jurisdiction is a Catholic community, dedicated to making the world a more compassionate place. Being present and offering Christ’s loving compassion is what we offer.

Is it a problem if we haven't been to church in a while?
Of course NOT, We believe that every one is entitled to a Christian burial, if one so desired. We leave the judging where it belongs, in God’s forgiving hands.

Where can the services be held?
We do not maintain any physical buildings. We are welcome where ever visiting clergy is welcome. The funeral home and/or cemetery also have facilities available for your use.

What will the funeral look like?
It will be what you want it to be. We can celebrate a full funeral Mass, wake service and/or cemetery or grave side service. We do share rituals and liturgies with the Roman church so it can look like what some people might expect.

What is the charge for a funeral services?
We do not, on principle, charge for our services. We do accept free will donations. Frequently, your funeral director will add a modest honorarium to his invoice for our charities. We do not deny our services to anyone in financial distress.

What must I do to have a priest from the White Robed Monks of St. Benedict conduct our loved one's funeral?
Please complete a Funerals Petition at some point so we have all pertinent information to better serve you. You or the Funeral Director may also telephone us. We usually have someone available on short notice.
