While most weddings take place at the church, they can also be held at other locations. The wedding service may include Holy Communion at the discretion of the couple. The clergy are available to preside at the funeral of any person, whether or not the person is a member of Good Shepherd. The church should be called immediately at the time of death so the clergy may respond appropriately and help with the decisions regarding the funeral service and arrangements. The funeral service can take place at the church with Holy Communion an option to be included at the discretion of the family.
Funeral services can take place at a funeral home or other appropriate location.
Cremation is a viable option for those who desire it and Good Shepherd has a Memorial Garden for cremated remains. The burial of the body or cremated remains can take place immediately after the funeral service or at another time convenient to the family. Some families may choose to only have a service of interment at the cemetery. The Memorial Garden is a small, peaceful spot behind the church. There is a beautiful cross on the brick wall and a granite bench for sitting.
