Planning a Funeral at OSL

Dear Friend in Christ,
It is never easy to lose a loved one. It’s no wonder St. Paul called death the last enemy
to be destroyed, because it takes from us that which is most precious to us, family and
friends. So we mourn. But we mourn not as people without hope. Because Christ has
been raised from the dead, we believe that we shall be raised also.
Thus, when Christian people gather for a funeral, we gather to thank God for the hope
we have in Christ, to remember and give thanks for our loved one, and to offer our
support to our brothers and sisters in Christ. The service is a celebration of life – the
life we have in Christ and the life of the person who has died.

The following is offered to inform you of appropriate funeral and memorial service
practices at Our Savior’s and to offer you help in planning a funeral or memorial
service.
