Planning Your Funeral

MAKE YOUR WISHES KNOWN

At a person's death, the Church shares the grief of those who mourn and remembers the brevity of life on earth. At the funeral, we give voice to sorrow, thank God for our loved one, and entrust this companion of ours into the hands of God. Trusting in God's promise in baptism that we are claimed by Christ forever, we rest in the sure hope of the resurrection. When the Church gathers to mark the end of life, Christ crucified and risen is the witness of our worship, the strength of mutual consolation, and the hope of healing.
