Q: With a funeral on Saturday, Nov. 1 (holyday with no obligation), do I have this correct?
- Greeting at the Door
- Sprinkling with Holy Water
- Placing of the Pall
- Entrance Hymn
- Penitential Act (?)
- Glory to God (omit)
- Orations: Collect, etc. (All Saints)
- Readings of the Day (All Saints)
- Homily
- Profession of Faith (?)
- Liturgy of the Eucharist – Preface of All Saints
- Prayer after Communion
- The Final Commendation
- Song of Farewell, etc.
As always, thanks for your invaluable assistance.

A: On a solemnity that is not a holyday of obligation, the funeral mass may be celebrated in its entirety. You treat it the same way as if the funeral were on October 31. The readings and prayers are those of the funeral, not those of All Saints.
