FUNERAL SERVICES

We are sorry for your loss & pray for you and
​your loved ones during this difficult time. 

A Word to the Family:

The First United Methodist Church of Troy is deeply sorry for you loss, but is here to help you through this time of sorrow.
We believe that sharing with families as you prepare to celebrate your loved one’s life through is a special ministry of our church. Troy fist views funerals and memorial services as sacred Christian events for members and nonmembers alike.
Memorial services and funerals may be held in a variety of settings, including our Sanctuary or Chapel, and you will see from the following pages that we offer a flexible approach to meet your interests and needs. I would like to meet with you as a first step to discuss your hopes for the worship service including, time to share, favorite hymns, scripture reading and other important memories of your loved one during the service
The purpose of this information is to help you plan for a service which will be an expression of your faith, a witness of your love for the individual and a time of deep reflection. It is the result of years of experience and hours of thoughtful preparation in developing guidelines which will create a worshipful and special atmosphere for the funeral or memorial service.
Our church family and I look forward to working with you to make this worship service meet your needs, to share this experience with you and support your family throughout this time.
Grace and peace to you,
Rev. Weatherly Burkhead Verhelst
