FUNERAL POLICY

CLEAR THE DATE

As soon as possible, the date and time of the wedding must be cleared with the pastor.

CONTACT THE MINISTER

Normally, all funerals in the church are performed by the current pastor.  If you have an exception to this policy, it must be discussed with the pastor.  If approved, the visiting pastor should be given a copy of this policy.

SCHEDULE OF FEES

There is no fee for use of the church or parish house for funerals.

See Parish House Policy for the rules regarding its use.

MISCELLANEOUS

Alcoholic beverages and smoking are not permitted on church properties at any time. A small selection of flowers may be left for the following Sunday services in memory of the loved one. Please remove all other arrangements and containers. Any items left in the church will be disposed of.

Catering receptions following funerals is the responsibility of the family.

Sanctuary furnishings are not to be moved or removed without the permission of the pastor or the pastor’s designee.                                                                                

MUSIC FOR THE SERVICE

All music should be discussed with the pastor.  We can recommend a pianist or organist. Fees will need to be privately arranged with the individual.
