Funerals

When someone dies, loved ones need space to grieve, to remember the deceased, and to give thanks to God for their loved one’s life.

A church service can be an important part of that process and, whenever possible, it is beneficial for a person to plan and make their wishes known.

"Although a Christian funeral honestly confronts the harsh reality of life’s ending, it witnesses to our hope in a new life beginning, both for the deceased and for those who grieve." -ELCA

Pre-Planning Your Funeral

Pre-planning your own funeral or memorial service is one of the greatest gifts you can give to your surviving family members. You can find a document below to aid you in that planning. If you are a member at Rejoice, we can keep a completed plan on file at the church to aid your loved ones.
