Order of Service for a Memorial Service
Memorial services held in a church are worship services giving thanks to God for the life of an individual. God's children are remarkable, diverse creatures. As such, memorial services and funeral services may vary to reflect an individual's unique life and family's wishes. However, this service is a simple, traditional, time-tested order that provides dignity and comfort following a death.
