While targeted to help members of Church For All, much information here should be helpful
to anyone involved in planning a funeral.
We strongly recommend that you research some of the material presented below -- now --
before you have need of it. You can easily waste many thousands of dollars otherwise.
Some books you may find helpful are:
The American Way of Death Revisited
by Jessica Mitford
Caring for the Dead: Your Final Act of Love
by Lisa Carlson
Coming to Rest: A Guide to Caring for Our Own Dead, an Alternative to the Commercial Funeral
by Julie Wiskind, Richard Spiegel
All members who have a death in their immediate family, and who desire help and ministry
support from the ministry team of Church For All, should immediately
email funerals@ChurchForAll.org the pertinent information including your phone number. While we cannot promise, at this time, that we will
be able to have a qualified minister present to assist you with services for your loved one,
that is our goal and intention, when and if possible.
Here are some Scriptures
suitable for use in a funeral, or to comfort someone whose loved one has died.
