Funerals

If you're planning a service for someone you love, we want the days ahead to be as clear as they can be. We're praying God gives you His comfort and strength.

Questions You Might Have

Answers to the practical things, so you can focus on what matters most right now.

Our Chapel sound system supports live musicians during the service, though we're not able to book or contact musicians for you.


We have a large screen for a PowerPoint presentation, and our sound tech can run it during the service, but we're not able to build the presentation itself.


We don't print funeral programs in-house — your funeral home or a local print shop can handle that for you.

We've worked alongside a number of funeral homes in the area, including ones that can accommodate cremation with care.

Planning a service means a lot of small decisions, one after another:


  • Time of service
  • Location of service
  • Type of service: memorial, funeral, or military
  • Whether to use the Chapel
  • Care of the body
  • Music
  • Burial site
  • Newspaper obituary
  • Pallbearers
  • Guest book
  • Photos and keepsakes
  • Flowers
  • Poems or quotes to include
  • Opportunities for donations in their memory

Funeral homes and newspapers will usually ask for:


  • Name of the deceased
  • Date of birth
  • Location of birth
  • Last residence
  • Date they passed away
  • Location of death
  • Date of service
  • Burial location
  • Who they're survived by

A suggested order of service:


  • Greeting
  • Scripture
  • Prayer
  • Song or music
  • Sharing from friends, relatives, and small group members
  • Message
  • Closing prayer
  • Graveside comments
