St. John's United Church


The ultimate purpose of a funeral service is 
threefold: to acknowledge the loss and the ensuing grief that overwhelms us; to speak honestly and
openly about the person who died, allowing reflection and memory to bring meaning in the midst of deep loss; and to reach out to those who have gathered with family and friends; to call upon the Creator for hope of life’s eternal and enduring cycle that is life: birth,life, death and rebirth. Just because a person dies, it does not mean the end of the relationship. It simply means that the relationship is different. While we cannot hold them or speak to them, they become,nevertheless, a spiritual force that is to be reckoned with us while we live.
