Details You Should Know When Planning A Christian Funeral

Christians view death as a transition from earthly life into eternity. Usually, when someone dies, their friends and relative want to plan a Christian funeral service, as a form of farewell to the deceased. You can opt to have the ceremony in a church or in a crematorium.

Choose a venue where the ceremony will be held. This can either be in a church, crematorium, private residence, or anywhere else that is convenient. You will also need to find a Pastor to officiate the ceremony. If the deceased was affiliated to any particular church, approach his Pastor first. If the deceased did not attend any particular church, ask for referrals from close friends about which church to use.

Allocate time for Bible readings and a sermon. The minister will talk about the deceased and encourage the bereaved from verses drawn from the bible. A friend or family member can be given the responsibility of reading the Bible verses.

Allow individuals to make special presentations. This includes any poems or songs that someone may want to perform. Having a eulogy is also important. A eulogy highlights the life of the individual and how their life affected the life of the people around them. Have a picture of the deceased strategically placed during the ceremony.

The minister will then proceed to say prayers. Prayers of thanksgiving for the life of the deceased and for strength for his surviving friends and relatives are said. A final hymn can be sung and attendees given a moment for reflection.

At the end of a Christian funeral service, announcements should be made before the attendees leave church. Provide any essential information on the final burial arrangements. Inform attendees where the burial will take place and when.
