Memorial Services

When an individual or family loses a loved one, Mayflower offers a ministry of presence and care. Through worship, fellowship and pastoral care, family and friends can grieve with the support of a caring community.

Our ordained ministers assist in planning the memorial service for members and the immediate family, conduct the service with compassion and dignity, and make referrals so that appropriate care is given in the weeks and months that follow. This ongoing care may be through pastoral contact, Befrienders, Heart to Heart, informal networks, or special support groups. Our ministry of hospitality includes serving refreshments after the service.

Many individuals desire to plan their funerals or memorial services in advance. Our ordained clergy are available to assist, and records are kept in the church files. The Memorial Garden, located in the courtyard of the church, is available for the placing of ashes in the columbarium or in the garden’s grounds. On All Saints Sunday the community remembers those who have died in the past year in a special candle-lighting service.
