It is a tremendous gift to our survivors to put our wishes and intentions in writing. What do you want your funeral to look like? Join us for a workshop in Harvard Hall to walk through the stages of funeral planning as a gesture of pastoral and spiritual support to those we love.

We will look at the appropriate scripture passages and hymns (and perhaps sing a few), the choice of a service with or without a celebration of the Eucharist, and the particular aspects of Rite I and Rite II. We will talk about the costs of burial of cremation ashes, flowers, and choir. There are many choices, and the person best equipped to design the funeral you want is you. For younger folks, this workshop may equip you to start helpful conversations with your parents who have not yet made their plans.
