For many reasons, families sometimes choose to delay memorial services to a later date. There are times when the later date is known in advance, and other times the date is determined later.  

In such times, an obituary is typically written in advance, cremation accomplished, and the family’s work with the Funeral Director is complete.

These steps will help guide you through the process of planning a memorial service at a later date.

First, call Pr. Craig to check on the availability of the church building. Please keep in mind that  the church may not be available on national holidays such as Memorial Weekend, Labor Day Weekend, the Fourth of July Weekend, Thanksgiving Week, and Christmas Week. There are also religious holidays when the church may not be available such as Palm Sunday, Holy Week, Easter, Pentecost Sunday. 

Next, once a date has been chosen, arrangements will be made to plan the memorial service, which may include meeting on-line so that geographically dispersed family members can contribute to celebrate and honor a loved one.  

Without a Funeral Director, church staff and church members are organized to help guide you through the process.  Pr. Craig will talk with you about most all of these details and connect you with church members as needed.  The church office collects fees for memorial services.

The total cost of Memorial Services at Windsor UCC is $800.  This cost includes use of our building, and our Pastor and Music Director to officiate the the funeral.  A catered luncheon is available for an additional charge.
