The death of one of the community is a significant event for whole Hmong Catholic community and the Hmong community at large. It is time for the Hmong Catholic community seeks to minister not only to the deceased but the living as well. The ministers have a marvelous opportunity to touch people’s hearts, comfort them in their sorrow and lead them closer to Jesus. These guidelines are offered to assist deacon, lay ministers and community members in effectively preparing the funeral rites.

The Hmong Catholic Community Council of Diocese of Fresno monthly meeting on October, 2005, the council appointed the elder group to review the current Hmong Catholic community of diocese of Fresno’s funeral rite of the requirements of the Order of Catholics Funerals relating to those issues rose in the Hmong Catholic community throughout the United States. The Funeral Rite Committee of Hmong Catholic Community Council of Diocese of Fresno identified where they would like to see more consistent practice in the celebration of funerals for the Hmong Catholic community of Diocese of Fresno.

Guidelines for Hmong Catholic Community:

These guidelines are developed to help community members understand their role in ministering to those who have suffered the loss of a loved one. Since the ministry of consolation belongs to the entire Hmong Catholic community; the entire community is involved in praying for the dead and comforting those who mourn. The Hmong Catholic Community Council of Diocese of Fresno Life Coordinator or Deacon should make a reasonable effort to respond to the request of any family requesting a funeral even if they are not members of the central church (OLV). When it is not possible to respond to a family's request, the Hmong Catholic Community Council of Diocese of Fresno Life Coordinator or deacon should assist them in contacting their proper parish or a priest able to assist the family.

Who to contact at the time of death?

In order to ensure that all funeral arrangements are made for a time and the church and the community’s ministers are available. We ask that family members wishing a funeral to take place in a Catholic Church make their first contact with the Life Coordinator, Deacon or Lay Ministry. Throughout the process of planning and holding the funeral rites, open communication is needed among all three partners: the family, the funeral home, and the deacon or community leaders.

Funeral Rite Ministry:

Members of Hmong Catholic Community Council of Diocese of Fresno should be actively encouraged and trained to take part in this ministry. Lay ministers who understand these guidelines and the Order of Catholic Funeral rite will assistance the family. The family should be actively involved in planning and taken liturgical roles at the funeral home and church.


The Hmong Catholic Community of Diocese of Fresno Funeral Liturgy:

As Catholics, we believe that what happened to Jesus in his resurrection from the death will happen to us. This hope has brought joy and comfort to Hmong Catholics as they mourn the death. There are three distinct ceremonies that make up the funeral liturgy in Hmong Catholic communityof Diocese of Fresno:

A. Vigil for the Deceased and Visitation:

The Vigil for the deceased is the prayer of the Hmong Catholic Community of Diocesee of Fresno. The Vigil service is never omitted. In Hmong cultures, it is traditional to sit in vigil with the dead, so that they are not left alone before burial. During vigils for the dead, people may observe silent, or they may cry, pray, socialize, and talk about the dead and the living. This tradition is still observed in Hmong cultures, because it is used to increase community awareness. This period of time allows the family to begin to adjust to their loss-the death of a loved one and to begin to express their sorrow and to receive emotional, financial and physical support from one another, their friends, and the community. In Hmong cultures, the time between the death of a person and their funeral has been called the "Visitation". The Visitation was usually held in the funeral home and came about as a way for the family, friends and community to support one another in their mourning on the weekend (Saturday and Sunday) before the Funeral Mass (Monday). The visitation is not a Church requirement. It gives the family, friends and community a chance to gather to console one another and to receive the condolences of friends. Relatives and friends may come out of town or state to pay their last respect to the deceased and comfort the living. Many people find such visitations very valuable, as they can provide an outlet for intense emotions. Therefore, the Hmong Catholic Community Council of Diocese of Fresno has developed guidelines for its members to make sure they carried out according to the Order of Catholic Funeral Vigil and Catholic faith (Appendix A – English & B - Hmong).

When: The Vigil/Visitation is celebrated on the weekend (starting Saturday morning to Sunday night) prior Funeral Mass (Monday).

Where: The Vigil/Visittion usually takes place at funeral home or other suitable place.

Minister: A deacon or lay ministers may preside at this liturgy.

Content: The Vigil takes the form of the liturgy of the word, songs, psalms, and intercessory prayer (Appendix C – Scheduling and Appendix D – Intercessory Prayer)

B. Funeral Mass

The Funeral Mass is the central liturgy of prayer for deceased. The family members of the deceased are to be encouraged to celebrate the Funeral Mass by explanation of its effects for the deceased as well as the faithful who mourn.

When: The funeral Mass is normally celebrated on Monday morning on the day of burial.

Where: The funeral Mass takes place in the parish church (OLV).

Minister: A priest or deacon is the presider for a funeral Mass.

Content: The funeral Mass begins at the entrance of the church. The priest or deacon receives the body of the deceased. The coffin is sprinkle with holy water and the pall is placed upon it by family or lay ministers to recall the deceased’s baptism. The body is carried in procession toward the altar and place near the paschal candle. Mass continues as the community celebrates the Liturgy of the Word (Appendix E – Order of the Mass)

C. The burial/committal:

This usually takes place immediately following the funeral Mass, it may also happen at a later date or in another town or state. This rite is the prayer and the actual committal of the body to the earth.

When: The burial/committal takes place as soon as possible after the funeral Mass.

Where: The rite of committal takes place beside the open grave or place of interment or it may take place at cemetery chapel.

Minister: A priest or deacon or lay minister may preside at this service.

Content: This rite includes a short scriptural verse, the prayer of committal, intercession, Lord’s Prayer and a blessing.



APPENDIX A (English)

Policy and Procedures Of
Hmong Catholic Community Council of Diocese of Fresno
Funeral Rites

Introduction:

The Hmong Catholic Community Parish Council of Our Lady of Victory church of the Diocese of Fresno came together on January 7, 2006, to modify the Hmong Catholic Funeral Rites. Catholic Missionaries in Laos developed the original version of the Hmong Funeral Rites. The vision of this modification is to adjust Hmong Catholic funeral rites so that they allow the practice of meaningful Hmong Traditions that still hold accordance to the teachings of the Catholic Church and to eliminate the Hmong Traditional Rites from the Hmong Catholic Funeral Rites that are not in accordance with the teachings of the Catholic Church.

The goal is to adopt a standard for Hmong Catholic Funeral Rites that:

1. eliminates the Hmong Traditional Funeral Rites that are in conflict with the teachings of the Catholic Church.
2. maintains meaningful Hmong Traditions in the Hmong Catholic Funeral Rites.
3. creates uniformity in Hmong Catholic funerals.
4. is in accordance to the Catholic faith.
5. is cost and time efficient for the family of the deceased.

Policy/Law and Procedures

I. In the event of death:
a. The family of the deceased must inform the congregation and its leader.
b. The family of the deceased must arrange for a funeral home, the time and dates for funeral.
c. The congregation leader will call the congregation members to assist with or assign chores/duties (muaj tub qa tub num).
d. The family members must meet with the congregation leaders, Deacon, and/or lay ministry to plan for the rite services.

II. Preparation:

III. The Funeral Procession/Rite:

d. The Deacon prays for the family and the service contributors.
e. Conclusion of prayer services (Xaus lub txoos thov Ntuj).
f. The congregation leader/representative is invited to conclude the rites procession.

V. Policy/Law for the Hmong funeral rites limitation:

a. No Hmong traditional soul sending (Tsis hais Hmoob Zaj Qhuab Ke).

Explanation:

“Qhuab Ke” in Hmong signifies the action of directing the dead person’s soul after life by a designated master of ceremony through the use of chants. The ritual is traditionally performed by Hmongs who are still practicing Shamanism. The master of ceremony points the soul of the deceased to his creator or in this case the ancestors (great grandparents). In order to reach his ancestors, the soul must first travel through the Devil’s world or hell. This ritual can never be performed outside of a funeral home because of the nature of its content.
As council members and Catholic Christians, we believe that our soul leaves our body behind to be with God. God is almighty and takes us in his arms as we leave this earth. God also loves us and will not lead us through hell in order to be with him. The Hmong customs also leads a person to his/her creator who happens to be the great grandparents. While we respect our elders, believe that our creator is God.

b. Eliminating the offering of tangible items and the sacrifice of animals for the deceased at the hands of his/her blood brother or sister. (Tsis hu hauv qhua).

Explanation:

“Hu Hauv Qhua” requires the mandatory presence of the deceased’s brother, if the deceased is a woman, or the presence of the deceased’s sister, if the deceased is a man. No non-Christian funeral can conclude without the presence of those parties. The family of the deceased is responsible to make sure that one of the two persons is present. If the family practices Shamanism, the family of the deceased must sacrifice a cow, valued at $1,000 and up, at the hand of the deceased’s brother or sister for his or her own consumption.

In return, the brother or sister of the deceased must return the favor by sacrificing a pig, boil it whole and bring it to the funeral along with one bunch of hand chiseled paper (representing spiritual money for the deceased), two freshly slaughtered and boiled whole chicken, two bottles of liquor, one yard of textile, and anywhere between $50.00 to $100.00 in gift money.

Prior to the sister or brother of the deceased accepting the invitation to fill his or her role as a guest of honor, he/she will first have to make sure that there were no prior unsettled disputes or quarrels between the deceased and the spouse and his/her family. If there was a dispute or unsettled matter related to the deceased and the in-laws, the matter must be financially settled prior to the deceased’s brother or sister accepting the invitation to attend the funeral.

As council members to the Hmong Catholics of Fresno, we feel that this particular step of the traditional Hmong funeral has no real place in the church as it reflects unnecessary sacrifices of animals, expenditure of money to the family with the loss, and also brings out private and family matters to an already sad event.

c. Eliminating the investigation of family matters and account settlements by designated representatives on the night prior to burial of the deceased. (Tsis muaj lub rooj hais xim).

Explanation:

On the last night prior to burial, a table is set for the honored and special guests (All those who sacrificed a cow for the deceased). The main purpose of this gathering is to investigate, question, and discuss the life of the deceased, his/her family, and all his/her debt or savings, or could be referred to as the settlement stage. If it is found that the deceased owed someone, whether money or things, all the deceased children are responsible for reimbursing the debts. This is the time for anyone who feels that the deceased still owes him/her something to speak up and make his/her claim. Without full reimbursement and settlement, the deceased cannot be buried. If it is found that others owe the deceased, the family must claim it at this time. No burial will take place unless everything has been settled.
Usually, the debts have been owed for years and often, there are no records. Sometimes, they had already been settled but another claim is being filed at the time. This often leads to accusations and shouting between parties in front of all the guests and deceased.

As council members, we strongly feel that financial details are private to the family and should not be brought up to the whole community. We feel that we live in a country that is governed by law (court) to help keep these matters straight and private. We feel that the discussion at this table is unnecessary and not related to God. It can create chaos and division amongst family at a time where unity is most needed.

d. No traditional blessings from designated master of ceremonies (tsis hais xim).

Explanation:

On the last night, after the discussion at the table as mentioned above, the family must pay $800 - $1,200 to two individuals to come and teach and extend blessings from the deceased to the family. This step usually endures for several hours until the morning hour. The family of the deceased must kneel all night to receive the blessings from the two men. The men speak on behalf of the deceased to the immediate living relatives.

As council members, we feel that blessing from humans will never be as important as the words coming from God himself. As Catholics, we now rely on the bible for words of wisdom and blessings. We have deacons and priests who fill the role of these individuals and offer words of comfort and blessing through the words of God Himself.

E. No money offering and incense burning directed to the deceased (tsis hlawv xyab ntawv).

Explanation:

During the event, a special type of paper is chiseled or folded by hand to represent spiritual money for the deceased. Traditionally, Hmongs believe that the deceased needs to take this money with him/her to the spirit world where he/she can buy food, clothing, etc… to start a new life. This paper is burned at the end of the funeral to symbolize that the money is now gone with the soul of the deceased, along with all the sacrificed animals as well. Burning stacks of papers in public or in public facilities causes pollution and is a fire hazard to facilities and properties.

As Hmong Catholics, we believe that in God’s kingdom, there is no need for materials such as money and livestock. We opt to remove this from our future Catholic funerals. All those things are things that we use in our present life on earth only and once we are in heaven, it is a kingdom of plenty. On the contrary, we should give away everything we have here so that we can have it all in Heaven.


f. The Hmong traditional thanking is allowed for offerings.

Explanation:

The Hmongs are very humble when it comes to receiving gifts, whether money or other tangible things. When someone brings a gift at a funeral, it is seen as a sign of love, respect, as well as help for the deceased’s family. The receiving party must bow, say a thank you chant, and then kneel to show respect for the one who brought the gift.

This is an important sign of respect that our culture has always had and we wish to keep it.


g. No alcohol and/or gambling during the funeral rite.

Explanation:

Hmong funerals can carry on for three days and nights. During a traditional Hmong funeral, the funeral home is usually open twenty-four hours a day once the funeral starts. Many people attending tend to gamble, drink, tell jokes, and shout when the funeral is going on to keep them occupied.

We feel that this is a sign of disrespect to the deceased and the immediate families. We want to ban alcohol and gambling from any future Hmong Catholic funerals.

VI. The family is responsible for the cost of:
a. The funeral mass.
b. Ministry services.
c. Congregation’s supportive services.

VII. Prayer alliance to the faith/bible philosophy:
a. Upon the family’s request, the congregation will come to pray for the family in the home on the night of the funeral ends.
b. There will be a gathering prayer at the grave on the third day upon request.
c. There will be a gathering prayer in the family’s home on the 13th day after the burial. The family may request for the congregation to gather for the prayer.

Note: Wishing to modify or amend this policy/procedural must approve by the Hmong Catholic Community Parish Council by 2/3 vote wherein present in person.

Conclusion:

In conclusion, we have been analyzing the Hmong funeral rites to distinguish what is culture, what is religion, as well as what is Catholic Christian and what is Pagan. We are suggesting the removal of any rituals that are non-Catholic Christian and Pagan. We have also decided to remove many of the items that are already covered by the Catholic faith.

Our goal is to provide funeral rites that can be duplicated and carried on by lay people instead of just relying on the very few who have extensive knowledge of those traditions.
In doing so, it will make it easier financially and emotionally for all families who do not have the proper monetary resource or manpower, to still carry on a full and beautiful Hmong Catholic funeral. We understand that a funeral is a time of reflection, prayer, and mourning and it is our goal to eliminate all elements that may contribute to arguments, disrespect, and division within families.

These changes are well overdue and will eliminate future confusion within our Hmong Catholic community. We hope that upon approval of these changes, our community will see that we are bringing ourselves closer to the teachings of God and the universal church. It will also put many doubts and questions about the Catholic faith at rest.
