A Glendale mom and her two children were laid to rest Saturday. The three were found shot to death at their home at 740 Hawbrook on Monday morning.
The funeral for Catherine Murch and her children, Mary Claire and Mitchell III, ages 8 and 10 respectively, was held Saturday at Cathedral Basilica of St. Louis and the burials took place at St. Peter's Cemetery in Kirkwood.
Authorities confirmed on Friday that the shooting deaths were murder-suicide, based on physical and circumstantial evidence. They say Catherine took the lives of her children and then turned the gun on herself.
Our partners at Fox 2 were on the scene Saturday as the three caskets were carried out of the church. The children attended Mary Queen of Peace School in Webster Groves, and the family was very active in the church.
