As soon the death of a loved one occurs, please contact the church to schedule a meeting with clergy and to begin funeral service planning. Advance funeral planning is strongly encouraged and planning materials are available in the parish office. Any of the clergy would be happy to meet with you to plan your funeral.

In addition, here are the three more helpful documents on estate and end of life planning. These documents are meant only to help you begin your planning. You are encouraged to reach out to a professional in the field to finalize all plans:
- The Estate Planning Basics document provides a brief overview of estate planning and the common documents that are used as part of an estate plan. The document also covers additional strategies to consider as well as common mistakes to avoid.
- The Fiduciary Appointments document serves to help individuals start thinking about the individuals who might serve in the various fiduciary capacities under their estate planning documents.
- Finally, the Remembrance and Services Memorandum is used to organize and set forth funeral plans for your loved ones.
You may also find helpful resources at The Conversation Project, which helps people share their wishes on care through the end of life.
