Funerals and Memorial Services


When a loved one dies, it is important to create meaningful ways to celebrate their life and experience God’s comfort and healing touch through song, scripture, symbol and story. A funeral or memorial service helps loved ones remember and grieve together. Adult Care partners with the funeral home, support staff, caterers and other ministries.

Open Door staff and lay people walk alongside a family to create a service that honors the deceased in an atmosphere of support and care. Meal Ministers and Hosts are available to provide a comfortable experience for the family by coordinating and providing a reception meal.

For information about a funeral service, please call Erin at ext 1300.
