FUNERAL SERVICES
As a part of Congregational Care, the Bereavement Ministry’s desire is to provide assistance, whether you are facing the death of a loved one or death comes unexpectedly. It is with this goal in mind that we have provided the following information to ease the stress of a most stressful time. If the opportunity presents itself, much of this can be accomplished more easily through talks with that loved one that is nearing death. If that is impossible, this information will still provide guidelines as you plan to honor and celebrate the life of that special person. Plan ahead as much as possible by gathering favorite hymns, scripture(s), and type of service desired by the loved one. Upon the death of your loved one contact a professional funeral service provider and contact the SMNL Congregational Care Ministry Team at 410.243.0378.Planning the Service
