Funeral live streaming at St Felix de Valois Catholic Church
Behind St Felix de Valois in Bankstown is a cemetery that dates from 1856 and no longer takes new burials. We have streamed funerals from the church for Bankstown families and their relatives further away.
About St Felix de Valois Catholic Church
A church first went up on the site in 1857. The present St Felix de Valois dates from 1925 and was renovated in 1980 and again in 1998. The old parish cemetery, set up in 1856, is closed to new burials. The parish does have a columbarium where ashes can be placed.
The cemetery is closed, so a funeral Mass at St Felix is followed by a burial or cremation somewhere else. Some families come back later to place ashes in the columbarium. We film the Mass in Bankstown, and housebound relatives watch it on a private link.

Questions families ask
Can a funeral at St Felix de Valois, Bankstown be live streamed?
Yes. Your funeral director asks the parish priest at St Felix before the day whether filming is fine, which is standard for a Catholic parish. With that settled, we set up early, stream the Mass to a private link, and give the family the recording afterwards.
Can ashes be placed at St Felix de Valois?
The parish has a columbarium for ashes. The historic cemetery beside the church has not taken new burials for some time. Your funeral director or the parish office can explain how a columbarium placement works. If the family wants that service filmed too, let us know.
