What You Should Learn When Looking Into A Christian Memorial Service

Christians view death as a transition from earthly life into eternity. Usually, when someone dies, their friends and relative want to plan a Christian funeral service, as a form of farewell to the deceased. You can opt to have the ceremony in a church or in a crematorium.

Choose a venue where the ceremony will be held. This can either be in a church, crematorium, private residence, or anywhere else that is convenient. You will also need to find a Pastor to officiate the ceremony. If the deceased was affiliated to any particular church, approach his Pastor first. If the deceased did not attend any particular church, ask for referrals from close friends about which church to use.

The ceremony usually begins by the minister welcoming attendees and giving a sermon. Scripture readings can be done by a close friend or family of the deceased. The main aim of the sermon is to celebrate the life of the deceased and to encourage the bereaved.

Allow individuals to make special presentations. This includes any poems or songs that someone may want to perform. Having a eulogy is also important. A eulogy highlights the life of the individual and how their life affected the life of the people around them. Have a picture of the deceased strategically placed during the ceremony.

The pastor will then proceed to close the ceremony by praying for the bereaved and to give thanks for the life of the deceased. The congregation can then proceed to sing a hymn or hymns as the coffin is carried out. The attendees can be given a few moments to think about the life of the individual at the end of the ceremony.

At the end of a Christian funeral service, announcements should be made before the attendees leave church. Provide any essential information on the final burial arrangements. Inform attendees where the burial will take place and when.
