Funerals and Memorial Services – These services are personalized in order to meet the needs of the family. Please contact Pastor Joe Tripp to do advance planning or as soon as the need arises.

Internment Options – The Memorial Garden is a burial place on the grounds of the church for the interment of cremated remains. The Memorial Garden is more than a resting place for loved ones. It is a place to meditate, to remember and to give special thanks for lives that have been shared.
