What To Notice When Organizing A Christian Memorial

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.

One of the first things you will need to do is to contact a Pastor and inform them of the passing away of your loved one. If the deceased used to attend a particular church, it would be best to talk to their Pastor. If they deceased did not belong to any particular church, then ask for referrals from a funeral home or friends on which Pastor and church to get in touch with.

During the ceremony, the Pastor will welcome the attendees. He will then proceed to give a sermon, drawn from the bible. You can get one of the deceased's friends or relatives to do the bible readings.

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 minister will then proceed to say prayers. Prayers of thanksgiving for the life of the deceased and for strength for his surviving friends and relatives are said. A final hymn can be sung and attendees given a moment for reflection.

Before the conclusion of the Christian funeral service, inform attendees of what is expected of them. Provide important details such as the events that are to take place next. Let them know the venue and date of the burial.
