End of Life Services at Redeemer
End-of-life information and services
If we live, we live to the Lord; and if we die, we die to the Lord; So then, whether we live or whether we die, we are the Lord’s. Romans 14:8
Blessed are those who mourn, for they will be comforted. Matthew 5:4
Redeemer Presbyterian Church seeks to help those who are grieving as they remember and celebrate the life of the departed. We believe that in the face of this tremendous loss, we can find hope through the life, death and resurrection of Jesus Christ. The information below will help explain how we can support and care for you in your practical and spiritual needs at this difficult time.
Relationship to Redeemer
Redeemer provides formal assistance with end-of-life services for Redeemer members (those who have taken membership vows in a Redeemer worship service or have transferred their membership to Redeemer from another church) and their immediate family, including spouses, children, parents or siblings.
Redeemer also seeks to provide support and care for regular and occasional attenders of Redeemer as well as neighbors and newcomers who are navigating this difficult time. Please submit information in the form below to help us serve you best.
If you are not a member of Redeemer but are interested in the possibility of holding a memorial service at W83 Ministry Center, please email [email protected] to request more information. Please note that W83 Ministry Center is not equipped to have remains of the departed present at a service.
