Funerals
When a loved one has passed away, the Saint Andrew clergy and staff are here to help you with the details of remembering the departed and planning the funeral and burial. We work with you and the funeral home to best accommodate the wishes of the deceased and your family. At the planning meeting, we will:
- explain the funeral liturgy,
- help you choose appropriate scripture readings and musical selections, and
- help you identify who will have an active role in the liturgy, including readers, gift-bearers, pall bearers, and others.
Saint Andrew parishioners will prepare and serve a funeral luncheon after each funeral.
To schedule a funeral Mass or Scripture service, please contact the parish office at 763-441-1483. A priest or parish staff member will contact you shortly to schedule a planning meeting.

TREE REMOVAL UPDATE FOR ST. ANDREW CEMETERY: Please note that the two large ash trees in Section 3 of the cemetery will be taken down Friday, June 19.
If you have loved ones buried in Section 3 (near the area where the ash trees will be taken down) and are able to remove and store your own plant stands and plants, it would be helpful and appreciated. If this can be done very soon, that would be a great help to the folks who will begin removing those items Wednesday (June 17) early afternoon (as the weather allows). You can return the stands and plants this weekend once the tree removal project is complete.
In the interest of safety, we ask that you refrain from visiting the area on Friday, June 19. Thank you for your understanding and cooperation.
For information on our cemetery or burial plots, please contact Joy LeFebvre through the parish office at 763-441-1483 or Rich Eversman at 763-258-6175.
