Funerals and Memorial Services at St. Timothy's
St. Timothy's conducts both funeral and memorial services, in the church and at local funeral homes.
For clarification, a 'funeral' is a service where the body of the departed is present. 'Funeral' can refer to a traditional graveside burial service, or it can refer to a funeral service conducted at St. Timothy's - even if a cremation is carried out later.
A 'memorial service' generally takes place sometime after the death and disposition have occurred. It is usually a service specifically to memorialize the life of the deceased. If cremation has been performed, often a memorial service is conducted before interring or scattering the cremated remains. The video to the right is an example of a memorial service with cremains present.
