Memorial Service Planning Guide

We have had several instances in the past within our church family when a member has suddenly become seriously ill and we were unable to contact a family member or responsible friend because we lacked the necessary information.

 

Therefore, we are preparing a form which, when completed by you, will provide information which would be of value to the minister and the office staff in case of an emergency.

 

This would include the name, address and telephone number of the relative or friend you want to be notified and with whom we might speak about a memorial service if needed.  Guidelines are included in which there will be space for you to provide us with ideas you might have about a memorial service - your favorite music or readings, or information that might be satisfying to family members.  You might want to share important life events with others.

 

We will have available information from the Hemlock and Neptune Societies in regard to "Pre-need" planning and decisions long before they are needed.

 

We will have Living Will forms available for those who have not yet completed one.

 

Information concerning the placing of a plaque on the wall of the Memorial Garden will be included.

 

We will let you know when the forms are available and ask for your cooperation in establishing this program.

 

Thanks,

Ruth Pearl, 954-972-2551
