Memorial Services
Services for loved ones who have passed on are usually very personal, private occasions. Because of this, each Unitarian Universalist memorial service and funeral is developed by the family of the deceased and the presiding minister to specially honor the memory of that individual. Frequently, although not always, the service includes a time for those present to remember the deceased with a story or anecdote. There is usually hymn singing and instrumental music as well.
There is no single, standard Unitarian Universalist memorial service or funeral. For information on memorial services or funerals within Unitarian Universalist congregations, please contact your local minister.
This work is made possible by the generosity of individual donors. Please consider making a donation today.
