Facts You Should Know When Planning A Christian Memorial

A Christian funeral service is usually carried out when a Christian passes on. This ceremony is mainly done to provide closure to the friends and family of the deceased. It is also a dignified way of saying farewell to the deceased.

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.

Special songs and poems can be performed. Organize this with the presenters beforehand. Also, allow time for a eulogy to be given by a close friend or family member. This is to provide an overview of the life of the deceased. Having the most recent photo of the deceased during the ceremony is advisable.

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 end of the Christian funeral service, make any required announcements. This is to give further guidance to the attendees about the next part of the program. You can let them know where the final resting place of the deceased will be. Prayers of final committal are made at the graveside as the coffin is lowered into the grave.
