Details You Should Notice When Arranging A Christian Funeral

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.

Give people an opportunity to present any personal poems or music. You can ask if there are any personal speakers who would like to say something special about the deceased person. Ensure that there is a photo or photos of the deceased present during the event.

Prayers are then said. These are prayers to thank God for the life of the person and for comfort to the bereaved. The congregation can be given a moment to reflect on the life of the deceased or death in general. The coffin is then taken out of the church.

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.
