This book holds Mayflower Church's procedure for funerals and memorial services. It exists to serve grieving families and the congregation with order, dignity, and the hope of the gospel.
The procedure covers the full lifecycle of a funeral at Mayflower — initial contact, planning meeting, service shape, facility logistics, coordination with funeral homes, and follow-up pastoral care. Use it both when a Mayflower member dies and when the congregation extends hospitality to a non-member family.
