Funerals and Memorial Services

"Blessed are Those Who Mourn, for They will be Comforted"

Matthew 5: 4

At a person's death, our congregations share the grief of those who mourn and remembers the brevity of life on earth.
 
At the funeral we give voice to sorrow, thank God for our loved one, and entrust this companion of ours into the hands of God.  

Trusting in God's promise in baptism that we are claimed by Christ forever, we rest in the sure hope of the resurrection.  

When the church gathers to mark the end of life, Christ crucified and risen is the witness of worship, the strength of mutual consolation, and the hope of healing.


We are Sorry for Loss

Contact Our Church offices to inform our Pastor and Staff of your loss.  If after hours, the recorded message will inform you about the Pastor's emergency number.   Please let them know how to get a hold of you.   The pastor will contact you  (or a "pastor on call" if our pastor is unavailable) to assist with details and preparations for a service. (Funeral arrangements typically take 2 to 3 days).

Most business days, messages are checked.   However, if a call is placed on the weekend, it may not be received until the next business day.

Note that there are more expenses and complications if your family chooses not to use a funeral home in preparation.   

Also, Central and East Freeborn reserve the right to refuse service, if there is not a good faith attempt to follow our policies and procedures.
