Funerals

The death of a loved one can be a grief-filled and overwhelming time. We are here to help.

Our Sanctuary and Chapel are available for funeral and memorial services, and the Parlor is available for a calling. A “calling” is a gathering often (but not always) precedes the funeral or memorial service. It is a time for friends and family to gather and share in conversation, remembering their loved ones and finding strength and comfort in relationships and memories. Deacons are present to provide hospitality and serve light refreshments.

For more information about having a funeral or memorial service at Second Presbyterian Church, please see our Funeral and Memorial Service Planning Guide or contact our Funeral Coordinator below.

Costs incurred related to the calling and the use of the building are paid for out of the Memorial Fund which is maintained through donations.
