"I am Resurrection and I am Life, says the Lord.Whoever has faith in me shall have life, even though he die. And everyone who has life, and has committed himself to me in faith, shall not die for ever.

- from the Burial of the Dead, Rite II

Burial

Advanced Arrangements

As part of the pastoral ministry of The Episcopal Church of Saints James and Andrew, we offer burial services to parishioners and to family members of active parishioners. The clergy and lay leadership of the church are accustomed to working with local funeral directors to arrange for such needs.  Since there is usually a limited amount of time available for planning, one should contact the clergy as soon as possible to make such arrangements.  We encourage you to read our Funeral Policy.

Funeral Policy

Pre-planning is always advised. Use the form below to make advanced arrangements for you or your loved one’s funeral.  We encourage you to keep a copy in your personal records, with a loved one, and with the clergy.
