Funeral Planning

WHAT HAPPENS AFTER THE FUNERAL
Records
After the service, information about the deceased is recorded in Trinity's Official Register of Pastoral Acts. Such information is usually provided by the funeral home in the Clergy Record and includes: name, age, date of birth, date of death, where interred, when interred, date of service, and officiant(s).

Memorials
When a funeral or memorial service is held at Trinity, the church is typically designated to receive donations in memory of the person who died. Other charitable groups can also be named if the family desires.

The church sends a thank you card to each memorial fund donor, and the name of the person being remembered is included in the monthly newsletter. If the family desires, they are welcome to give input regarding the use of the memorial funds for Trinity ministries. Once a decision is made, a record of the person being memorialized and the purpose of the memorial is recorded in a book that is maintained by the Altar Guild.

Follow with the Bereaved
After the funeral, when the family has gone back home and all the visitors stop coming, one quite often feels the loss more intently. Both of Trinity's pastors are available for follow-up and referral. We hope you feel that we are part of your extended family, as God has named us his.
