FUNERALS

Funerals are the liturgy in which we commend the departed soul into the care of God’s loving mercy. The Burial of the Dead is the final sacramental rite of the Christian life, and the body or the cremated remains must be present. Funerals can be elaborate, with choir and music, and they can also be simple and done at the graveside.

 

Like weddings, they may be held both in the main church or the Lady Chapel. For information on policies and fees associated with a funeral please email office@sstephens.org or reach out to the Rector.
