Funerals

Walking with families through loss, with the comfort and hope of the gospel.

In Times of Loss

If you’re visiting this page because a loved one has recently died, please accept our sincere condolences. At St Andrew’s, we are committed to offering prayer, support, and the comfort that comes through Jesus Christ during this difficult time.

The Comfort of Christ

In John 11, we read that Jesus Himself experienced grief when His friend Lazarus died. As He comforted Lazarus’s sisters, Mary and Martha, Jesus spoke with love, compassion, and hope—words that still speak powerfully to us today.

Christian Funerals at St Andrew’s

A Christian funeral is a time to give thanks for a person’s life, entrust them to God’s eternal care, and find comfort in the hope of the resurrection. It can also be a meaningful step in the grieving process.

At St Andrew’s, our funeral ministry is available to everyone. The person who has died—and those who gather to mourn—do not need to be church members.

7:45am Service

A short service of Holy Communion (using the Book of Common Prayer) is held in the Chapel of Remembrance from 7:45am to 8:15am on the fourth Sunday of each month and is followed by Morning Prayer at 8:30am in the main church.

The 7:45am service provides a quiet space to give thanks for the lives of loved ones and is also intended for broader participation, offering an opportunity to receive the sacrament before joining in the richness of Morning Prayer.

Columbarium

Families may purchase a columbarium niche within our church grounds for $1,200 per niche. This provides a dignified place for the interment of ashes and ongoing remembrance. Please contact the Parish Office for details on availability and inscriptions.
